I have been poking around on the web trying to find the best GPS that is out there at the present moment.
I really don’t want to take any more trips without one. It has to have the latest features, and be portable so that I can move it easily to any vehicle, and it should be easy to grab new maps that are available via a download / update. eBay use to be my site of choice, but I really got sick of bidding on stuff and waiting, lately Amazon is the place where I do lots of research if I am looking for a new gadget.
Now GPS devices don’t fall in the category of “new technology” by any means, but I am usually a late adopter of certain technologies, as I tend to wait till the dust settles and I have a good selection to choose from, and then I can read all the product forum reviews, as the customers tell the true story of the salt of a product.
Another reason I am a late adopter of technology is because once the competition heats up the price always comes down, and that is definitely the case with GPS technology.
After reading product review after product review, I think I have settled on the Magellan 5310, it has a five inch screen with large fonts, and comes pre-loaded with US and Canadian maps, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
It is totally portable so that is what I need, this is going to come in handy on 285 when the traffic is backed up to kingdom come. Also looking forward to using the restaurant / points of interest locator when we are out of town.
