Garmin StreetPilot® c320 GPS Receiver

I test drove it at BestBuy, immeditely liked it amone some others offered (tomtom, sony), then went home and ordered it online at Amazon. The GPS is exactly what it is designed for: Car Navigation! Directions and Points of Interest are really the only thing you'd need for a car navigation system, plus this litte thing even talks! with a 2GB SD card (cost $35) you can load entire US AND Europe Maps and travel everywhere in your car without getting lost.

Screen is not as bad as most user describes, I made a small shade for it so it reads pretty darn good even in harsh bright sun light. Very responsive processor, no sluggish menu found on a lot of other brand GPS systems within same price range. Touch screen is also great and easy to use. Without power adapter, this little thing can run continuely for over 6 hours on battery, so you can carry it with you when you get out of car.

Antenna is one of the best amone competitions, though not using SiRF chip, it locks fast and accurate(WAAS).

Route calculated is quite good, though not the best. Sometimes it will give false direction and ask you to go around a circle... If you get off the route, the system will automatically recalculate a new route for you.

Maps are up to date, points of interests information is quite complete, though some information is really old and does not include newest shopping centers/grocery stores. For example, it does not include a major movie theater close by(Rave Motion Pictures) or a Wal-mart that's been built long long time ago.

//If you are looking for a hiking and off road product, Garmin GPS 60CSx, 76CSx or eTrex Cx series is your best bet, they are also great car navigation system as well (just without voice navigation). All mentioned GPS devices support SD card, so you can use one SD card for the outdoor model and the C320!

Garmin = Great Buy!
