GPS unit

[jezz]

What units do you guys run??
Good points and bad points on the unit you run??

Im thinking of something like the Garmin c510.

[raceAE86]

Get your self a MELWAYS there alot cheaper and they are user friendly.

Thats my 2 cents I dont like electronic gizmos in cars, Im old skool

[jezz]

Yeah got one, trouble is im allways the map reader etc. due to my mates and the other half being SHOCKING with the melways. When im driving im screwed if i dont know exactually where im goin.

[raceAE86]

Fair call my missus cant read a melways to save her self sounds like you do need a GPS thingy I would not have a clue whats good and whats not most of my friends have a TOM TOM sat nav thing but I think they fairly expensive.

Garmin C330

THE BEST!

I use it everyday. I use it for work and for fun. It's VERY user friendly.

[jezz]

yeah thinking of the
Garmin c510, or
Navman s50. Gotta look into them more.

[steroidchickens]

i got a garmin c510.
either i got a dud or i dont rate it very highly. it is constently getting lost, you get close to the finish flag and it suddenly says "recalculating" GRRRR.
i also heard the tom toms reception is better.
every time i enter a tunnel with the c510 it drops out. apperntly the tom tom1s dont drop out?

if i was to buy again i would go a tom tom.

[steroidchickens]

dont go navman.

[blue86]

ive got the tom tom ,
ive never had a problem ,ive used it to go to wombeyan caves and my mate had the navman it didnt last that long in to the trip. with the tom tom didnt drop out it just didnt have the rest of the road as i think the road that i took was a fire trail it was like a 150 kms of roads.
1,good points i use it like a rally tool it tells me what corner is coming up just not what objects witch sucks
2,and i hate thinking to much.
3, make shore you get the suction bit that sucks to the window ,mine falls of .
4,when you finish useing it take the holder of the window someone try steeling my little brothers one. hope this helps

Why's it costing you anything?! Must be connecting via internet and downloading updates.. just disable these and use to satalite, should be free then :-)

I use my N95, brilliant, easy to use, voice navigation guy is VERY demanding lol

[Corolla_Gurl]

i have a navman s50....awsum as, sometimes its a little sketchy (tells you to do illegal uturns or takes you a longer route then a route you know should be shorter) but usually very good.

[Gunner]

im with vodafone, that could be why, i set it to streaming, thats the way it works best i found, but i may be wrong

I've heard to many problems with the nokia nav's, thats why they're not an option for me.

Got a Garmin Nuvi 310 for my birthday. Works really well. Only bad points on mine is I need the update as it doesn't have some of the newer roads, other than that it's awesome. Vehicle speed is very accurate, distance is accurate.

my tomtom does the same [tells you to do illegal uturns or takes you a longer route then a route you know should be shorter ]they all mite do that.but it saves picking up the road map .

[hachirusto]

Navman S50 or Tom tom one XL if your looking at the $500 bracket, but supercheap will have 20 off soone so o then and get it

these both have blue tooth and bigger screen

or S30 or tomtom one if you looking to spend about $350 or so,

the Mio range are also pretty good

[slidin 86]

What do people think of the pioneer gps?

They seem okay but havent heard any feed back from them and they are cheap at strathfield car radios atm.

[riojin]

yeah im also thinking of getting a pioneer (single din) unit for courier runs. im just a pioneer fanboy (everything to do with sound/vision has to be pioneer).

any feedback?

I work at super cheap, and 20% off sale is on tomorrow (Sat 29th Dec). I think the S50 comes down to about $400, and so does the TOM Tom one XL
