GPS Units - Prices are really dropping
Was just looking over at Amazon for these. Can't believe how much prices have dropped in the last year. So now I am thinking of getting one. Anyone on here really pleased with one they have?

I was in the market, then decided to try VZNavigator on my BB...I really like it and scuttled my plans to buy a separate unit.
Just a thought.

My dad blames power steering and automatic transmissions for "dumbing down" driving.
These things only make it worse. |

I just picked up a Tom Tom,, $50 cheaper than the same Garmin unit.. Also $50 cheaper than the model that "speaks" the street name ( turn right on Main Street vs turn right in 200 yards).. So I paid $199 for the large 4 inch sceen model..
And yes these things suck your brain dry one cell at a time,, I can't back out of the driveway without it...

11 months ago, I paid $139 for "refurbished" Garmin Quest from; www.edgegps.com
Refurbished means someone bought, opened the box, couldn't figure out how to use it and returned it. It's like new, with full warranty, accessories and manual. I like the Qwest as it fits in the pocket when I'm on a snowmobile or dirtbike. Battery last up to 20 hrs and then recharges when you put it back in your car, streetbike, whatever....Luv it for the price.......
