Do any of you have them? If so, what models and what are your experiences with them?

Thanks

make sure you hide them when you leave the car or people seem to break and and steal them.

Garmins a good brand. I had one for a while on a trip and it was pretty accurate. Used it as an mp3 player with my SD card when my ipod died out.

I have Tomtom with my old Treo phone, and it works great. I just drove across the country relying on that sucker.

mikegraphix, I didn't think you could connect GPS to an iPhone?

I just got a TomTom for my birthday, need to set that bastard up. Hopefully I could use it in Greece on my trip.

Entry-level TomToms sucks royal ass, I returned mine 5minutes after I bought it and turned it on, only to return another one after it crashed once I linked it to my PC. Searching online, turns out the software they run on (the cheaper models I mean) is pure crap.

Yeah, TomToms are questionable, especially in big citys. I live in DC and it goes haywire every time I try to get off I-395. It just can't keep up with all these intersecting roads.

You can definitely do better.

My Blackberry 8830 has the built in GPS....I love it. Helped a lot when I was looking for places to go while visiting Georgia last weekend.

I have the Garmin Nuvi 650 widescreen...I need it for work as I run appointments to people's homes. It works great and is a life saver. Only put me in the wrong spot once but the customer told me that no GPS or even mapquest can find their house b/c an old road had been recently blocked.

I highly reccomend Garmin, it just depends how many features you need to which model you get
