I used my parents' jumbo-sized GPS a few weeks back and never looked at it once while driving. Waste of space in my opinion. But then I also stow my cellphone in the trunk when I drive. I'm just not into distracted driving I guess...

I meant for programming.
Nothing wrong with a small screen but I was surprised to see how small it is since in pictures it looks like the C3xx series I'm somewhat familiar with. Sixto 93 300SD |

Although the Garmin's primary use will be as replacement for the odometer in my 85 380SE, I have several other cars that will be sharing it. A smaller unit will definitely be easier to move from car to car. Actually, at a price of $200 if I like it enough I could always get one for each of the other cars and still be ahead of the typical $500 to $800 that other units cost.
Smaller also means more portable. I sure could have used this unit a few weeks back when I was blindly navigating the streets of Philly, Baltimore, and D.C. It would have filled the space of 3 pairs of socks in my suitcase. Check out the Garmin i5, basically the same model but with color and preloaded maps. Everything else, including size, is the same. Only $349. I did a ton of research - these i2, i3, and i5 units have a lot of the features that the more expensive models have. Check out epinions.com and you will find nearly everyone with one of them thinks it's great.

Note that this is a really old thread.
I like the garmin moving map series that will take the maps for aviation, marine and automotive uses. They have three digit model numbers and end in 96 or 76, I think. Read about WAAS before you buy. I also want one that will do quadrangle maps but it will have to be really lightweight. |
