What Kind Of Gps Do You Use Or Like?

[Justin220]

Hi I'm intending to buy a new GPS which can guide to prevent me from lost from this new city. Do you guys have any good suggestions? Among these functions, which are the ones most useful? Bluetooth and IPOD support, TV function, size of the screen? And what kind of GPS are you using? I use to buy DVD Player from
Eonon. And I'm also considering this one eonon - 3.5 inch TFT LCD PORTABLE CAR GPS + USA-Canada. Is it good? Or do you have any other suggestion? Many thanks in advance!

Stay away from the Eonon GPS unit.....ive dealt with that model before and had MAJOR dramas, i ended up getting my money back but it cost me over $50 in postage costs (both forward and return) and the unit didnt even turn on FFS....sorry.....end rant

As far as other suggestions go i would towards the Navman, Garmin etc.

I use my Samsung Omnia with Garmin software, works a treat. But I'd be sticking with the big brands like Garmin and Navman, like Holdenboy said. Solid reputation, also easy to get maps and software. Not saying that other brands won't do the job.

Not having a go but I'm curious as to why you want bluetooth, ipod support or TV function? I don't think music is going to sound very flash coming out of a tiny speaker. Bluetooth maybe depending on the unit. But TV support, I don't know about you but I get in my car, drive, then get out, no time in between to watch TV. Also you can't have a TV or similar device going when you are driving (that driver can see), GPS is the only exception. If a cop passes you and sees showtimes coming off a screen on your windscreen, they are going to pull you up.

Just my 2 cents.

I used to work selling GPS's in a past life, and i found tomtom were the go for a reliable gps with a straightforward interface. Failing that I'd go Garmin.

I would love one of these in my car though...

I just bought a TomTom GO 730. It's great. Easy to use.

Got a Navman S45,had no problems at all with it plus its pretty easy to use.

Oh i've only had one problem & thats waiting for them to send out my free update lol.

tomtom is the best
easy to use can update easy from net and ppl make poi's for them and post them up
i got tomtom on my fone and put it through dvd player in dash

tomtom from me too. simple and does everything you need it to. without the **** around some gps devices expect you to do

[arrow224]

Are you looking at a portable GPS like a TomTom, Garmin or Navman or an in-dash 2-DIN unit that will also do CD/DVD/GPS/TV/Screen/etc?

If it is the portable one, a heap of people like TomTom, an equal share love Garmin, and some love Navman. I love Navman. I've got an S100 platinum, and even though too many people hate the GlideTouch screen, I love it. Just need to know how to use it.

If it is the latter, ie, the 2-DIN unit, then Pioneer and Eclipse make some pretty good units.

Thanks for all of your kind advice, really helpful to me. I want to get one as cheap as Eonon, haha, and I also found some people said Eonon is not bad. That wont leave me poor. Seems I can also take Navman, Garmin, tomtom , Pioneer for consideration. But which one is cheaper and good quality? maybe just with basic functions is OK.

I have a TomTom One. Very cheap but well built. It is fantastic and easy to use and upgrade. My Dad has a Navman but I think the TomTom is better unit as far as quality for money.
