Anyone tryed the basic $300 TomTom navagation system ? I'm a very simple guy and intend to stay that way. I believe all this stuff gets outdated before you hardly get to figure em out.

I bought the Garmin 430 just before the Ponta Gorda Show. I elected the 430 over the 330 because it speaks the name of the street rather than just saying turn left, it will say Turn left on Pace Street NW. I found it very helpful when I was going back and forth to the hotel. I used it find restaurants and even the different auto parts stores. I really like it.

I got a Magellan 3000 about 3 weeks ago, and I'm sold on it (and GPS's in general) completely. I guess that there is a learning curve with all of them, but this one didn't seem to be all that difficult.

Actually if you already have a laptop computer, you can simply buy a copy of DeLorme Street Atlas along with a GPS antenna that plugs into a USB port. Pretty handy to have on trips.....
