i've got the tomtom go 930 and it works awesome- the go 730 (same but without euro maps) would be a solid bet too if you don't plan on using it in europe and wanna save some cash

My Garmin 200W (a gift) is okay, but my FIL got a Garmin 3XX(?) that has about 2x the battery life. The main advantage he has, aside from spoken street names, is that his has a dimmer control so he can turn brightness down and save battery life. The battery life on my 200W kinda sucks, about 2-3 hours at best.

Been using my D3 for 6 months now. It's awesome! I think I paid $575 for the unit but I added XMTraffic/Radio, Bluetooth, and IPOD integration. Everything works excellently.

I hope you haven't made a fool out of yourself and told customers that Garmin has their own satellites. GPS satellites were put up by the US Dept. of Defense.
DOD injected $500 million into Garmin in exchange for a 55% equity stake.
Hey, if treasury can buy banks......why can't we nationalize technology companies?

Haven't you heard? It's part of the new social order.
