Whats the best gps on the market?

I'm in the market for a new GPS...?

  • I currently own a Lowrance car gps system that is 3 years old. In general, it works pretty well but it is large, bulky and heavy and it's getting to the point where, when I power it on, it takes anywhere from 2-3 minutes for it to find my current location before beginning to navigate. So, I am looking to purchase a new GPS system. I have a few diehard requirements for my new system: it MUST have up-to-date, relevant points of interest. I often want to find the closest Olive Garden, Panera, or Target etc., and I want a system that really has these and other POIs loaded. I also would really like speech recognition and spoken street names. I'd like to be able to auto-sort multiple destinations to provide the most economic route as well as auto re-route and choice of route setup (faster time, shorter distance, etc.). I also like to have the travel time and estimated arrival time on the screen. I've researched Garmin, TomTom, and Magellan but I'm getting a bit overwhelmed. I'd really love to be able to test-drive each system myself but that's not feasible. Does anyone have any recommendations for a quality, reasonably priced gps that has a large POI database (that's relevant, not obscure...I don't care about JimBob's crab shanty) and has at least some of my other preferences? Thanks.

  • Answer:

    garmin makes the best portable navigations on the market.. you will pay a little more for it but its worth it.. trust me
