Marana Rich Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 In one of my many stupid moments, I passed on GPS for the car, and got the 6 CD MP3 player instsead. With XM radio, that is overkill. So I am thinking of getting a GPS system, and am looking for recommendations from those who have one as to the best one on the market today. Is GPS System a redundant statement?

Big Poppa Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I have had both the Pioneer AVIC N2 and the AVIC Z1, and though I very much prefer the Z1, I was very happy with both. They are not cheap, but are consdered by most to be the best aftermarket navigation systems that you can buy. At the moment, there is a group purchase on the Covette Forum on the Z2... If you are gong on the Laughlin trip, I should have the Z1 installed in the Vette by then, you may check it out if you like. If you have any direct tech questions about either, feel free to ask...In one of my many stupid moments, I passed on GPS for the car, and got the 6 CD MP3 player instsead.

Is GPS System a redundant statement?I just got a portable Soundstream NAV-12. I works pretty well, can be used as a handheld for walking trips etc, and can be moved from car to car. All for about 1/3 of an in-dash system. Look me up on the Laughlin deal as well and you can check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Is GPS System a redundant statement?We have the Garmin C330. It's inexpensive, portable and easy to use. My wife travels for work and loves it. They're about $200 or less on Ebay now. While visiting my son in Baltimore I was exposed to his Garmin Nuvi (not sure of the model #) and it is great. It has a number of features that the C330 doesn't. It's also much thinner. I think he said he paid $400 plus for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Y Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I've got a Tom Tom 1. Very easy to use and portable to different cars. Also runs on batteries for short walking and bike trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwikvet Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'm sure many of the mfgrs make a good one. I recently bought a Tom Tom go500 for $199 off woot.com and love it. It has a slightly larger 4.3" screen and bluetooth speakerphone. These nav systems have really dropped in price and are a really useful accessory!
