Can anyone offer advice on whether or not something like the Garmin Street Pilot is the best thing going or are there other less expensive options out there that might be worth a look? I appreciate the advice!
I have the Garmin iQue 3600 and like it. It is Palm OS based so it functions as a Palm PDA as well. You need to get the car kit which has a weighted dashboard mount with a combination speaker/power cord for the 12 v outlet. It gives turn by turn directions which are easy to hear and understand. It recalculates when you get off course. It comes with maps for the US and Canada and you can purchase Europe. It does searches for restaurants, stores, services, etc. It is easy to use. It costs around $400 if you check prices on Froogle.com.
