the 200 has a way better cmos ccd, therefore way better video. go compare them at the store. the 2 lcds next to each other are like night and day.

I'm looking at the same two as well. Any input would be appreciated.Thanks!

Thanks for your response. Yes, I still need to know why the price is more for the 880. May be, someone else can answer that.

is there a real difference between this one and the 820? i was planing on picking one of the two after im finished with my deployment but since this on looks to be discontinued i should just wait to see what new come out.

There is no difference between the UV-82 and the UV-82L. After I contacted Baofeng directly and asked them about it, they told me that the UV-82L has been re-labled by a Re-seller who is trying to charge more money for the same radio. Saying it is a New and Upgraded unit. It is not. They also do not make a 3400 ma battery. The batteries are 1800ma batteries re-labeled to 3400ma so the greedy vendor can charge more for them. Buyer beware. The Radio is a good unit and works fine. it is an upgrade over the UV-5r , louder audio, better antenna, and a full 5 watts of power, so if you find one at a good price go ahead and buy it. Just remember that the labels are misleading.

Using a Taylor 210, with the recommended 13's. I went back and forth with the 80/20s and Phosphor Bronze. I prefer the 80/20s Bronze. I think they are just a little clearer. The Phosphor Bronze sounds balanced and real good, but a little deeper. But it all boils down to what suits you.

Go with the 850. I have the 860 and from a distance of 10 feet you will not be able to tell the difference between red and blue. It's all a marketing ploy to gain a couple of extra bucks from you under the smoke and mirror extended warranty haze. Save your money. There is no difference between the 850 and 860 in terms of picture quality and that is what you should be paying your hard earned cash for. 850 vs 860...both are exceptional sets. Enjoy!

Go with the 300! I believe it goes faster than the 200. I bought mine for my 8y/o and 11y/o boys. Glad I got the faster ones! I use them too - super fun!!

It is a new design that is smaller and lighter. Some might argue that the older design is a little sharper, but I am satisfied with the newer design as an "all purpose travel lens". For critical work, I would use my 70-200.

I tried the HS 20 not once, but twice -- because I thought the first had to be a bad copy. It wasn't. Both provided a nightmarish experience, leaving me with the feeling that anything would be better than the HS20. In that context, I'd opt for the 7000. But in the broader, more realistic context of the year 2014, you should rule out both the 10-year-old 7000 AND the HS20. Immediately, and irreversibly. Even if they cost you nothing, you'd still be wasting time, energy, and precious moments.

Great question. Simple answer, performance will be about the same, so go with the lower cost with higher reliability drive. For me, the choice was easy as it was quite a bit cheaper than the 7,200 models. A year later, I still love this little drive so I don't think you will have any issues if you follow in my tracks.

200 is more versatile. Nothing at all wrong with thee 100, but the 200 does provide more options.

There are lots of contradicting answers on the multiple threads. I spoke with Garmin Support and he recommended the 2577 SPECIFICALLY for this reason. The online description ( https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-road/automotive/2013-line/nuvi-2577lt/prod122520.html ) also lists both maps.William - If yours did not, it seems you overpaid because the 2597 is the same device at less money PLUS it has Lifetime Maps. Chas / Mark / D. - Do all of you have the device and physically confirmed it doe not have Europe? Again, this is counter what Garmin said to me about 1hr ago.

I am leaning towards the 230 mainly because of price. I compared the 230 and 240 in a side by side list and other than a difference in programs (240 has more) and warranty (230 is better) I don't see the advantage in paying $50 more.

thx, I guess i'll stick with 540TM :-) I am upgrading from old Garmin that had no map updates and traffic and hopefully it would be worth it at this price. I did use one of the TOM TOM models (smaller one) for a 2600 miles trip in the west coast and routing was really good.

I bought the 260 and can recommend it (although later Garmin changed the interface to the 2x5 series ... which may or may not be a positive). My new 765t doesn't route me any better than my 260 did (it just has a few bells and whistles that I liked and needed ... lane assist for one). I've never owned a TomTom, so I cannot compare the two.

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!
