Best Auto GPS for the money
350578
I have owned several GPS' over the last few years. Garmin & Magellan are OK, but the TomTom Go730 T is the best bet for under $200.
I have the Garmin Nuvi 760 in my wife's car and it works well. It's strong point is a very simple menu.
The TomTom, menu is a bit more complicated, the main reason being there are more features, to choose from.
First - the voices that announce the streets are much better than the Garmin. You can understand the words.
Second - the FM transmitter is stronger, making the playback thru the car radio more reliable.
Third -  the computer hook up to download data much better design.
Fourth - the traffic connection is very helpful as is the IQ routing.
The only things that I find in need of improvment are the length of the arm that mates with the windshield suction cup. It should be a bit longer. The short design makes it difficult to use any bean bag dashboard mount, except the $40 TomTom model.
And the mounting of the cigarette lighter power cord, which is directly into the base of the GPS.The Garmin power connects to the suction cup holder which makes removing the unit from the car a one step operation.
Overall, the TomTom seems to be more commited to find creative ways to enhace the value of the GPS. I have yet to try the app that will locate the cheapest gas station but it is a good example of the value added approach that TomTom offers.

I HAD BOUGHT ONE EARLIER IN THE YEAR FOR MYSELF AND WHEN I SAW HOW NICELY IT WORKED FOR MY JOB, I THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK WONDERFUL FOR MY WIFE. SHE SOMETIMES HAS DIFFICULTY WITH DIRECTIONS AND WITH THIS GPS SYSTEM, SHE IS ABLE TO GO ANYWHERE WITH LITTLE HESITATION IN THINKING SHE MIGHT GET LOST. THIS SYSTEM IS A GREAT BUY AND I RECOMMEND IT FOR ALL FAMILY MEMBERS WHO LOVE TO DRIVE.

Consider Cobra GPSm 2100 navigation with free updates & speed camera/red light camera updates. I use it with my Valentine one radar & its fun and safe way to drive on long trips with such investments that keep you awake & make trip exciting & ticket free. Check out GPSM 2100 not because its cheap but seriously consider its features. I enjoy Cobra GPSM 2100 & valentine one radar detector both. I remove Radar detector in Washington & VA but keep the GPS on. It works great!

This is a great gps. My truck is a little loud so the voice control doesnt work well, but thats my only complaint.

I finally got to use my Bushnell NEO Ghost GPS. I really like the functionality and size of it. I clipped it to my push cart and never had a problem with it falling off. It seemed to be extremely accurate on the yardage. Finding the correct course was a piece of cake. The auto hole recognition was extremely useful. There were multiple times where my dad kept forgetting to switch holes on his GPS so he was always off on yardage. I never had to worry or doubt with this though. The set up was super easy, it just needs to sync an you are good to go. For the price and what you get in terms of abilities from this GPS, I would highly recommend it.

I have owned an earlier model GPS for a good handful of years up until I purchased the Moov200.  The earlier model did exactly what I wanted it to do, get from door to door.  I purchased the Moov200 mostly because it had a 2008 map card, and I needed that being that I travel to more than 30 different destination a day.  The added features this GPS has over the old surprised me.  It says the street names vocally and is very accurate in the city I use it in.  I wouldn't want to do my job without it.  I highly recommend this GPS to those who want quality without breaking the bank for something that may have MP3 capability, bluetooth and all the other addons that I don't want or need.  Worth the money and then some!

I recently revieved this GPS for a gift and I love it. It's very sturdy and it has a nice color display. The reception is outstanding, I can even recieve strong signals in my basement. The only down side to this device would be the roadways. They are not very detailed, but interstates, state roads, and county roads still show up. I find the ammount of roads in the US plentyful, but there are very few roads in Canada displayed. Although this may seem as a downside it is not that bad, because software can be purchased giving the roadways full detail. Another Pro to this device is that it is much smaller than it looks in the pictures. This makes it nice and easy to fit in your pocket or put in a cup holder in a car. I especially like the GO TO features on this device. You can search airports, parks, lakes, cities, roadways, etc. You just type in the name of the place you want to go to on the GO TO display and it will draw out a route from your current position. The routes that are displayed are shown as a crow flies, which is a downside, but it's quite simple to find the quickest roadway, allong the line drawn. This device also has many points of interest to mark including, highway exits, hotels, gas stations, airports, campsites, and a whole lot more. In other reviews it has been said that this device is "hard to use with too many displays" I disagree. This divice is very easy to use once you get the hang of it. It has many features and the screens are customizable to your preference. It has many helpful features like a barometer, fish and game calculator, and sunrise/sunset. I also enjoy how it gives me an exact speed (more acurate than the actual speedometer in the car) It tells you estamated time of arival, how many more miles to arival etc. So far I have only gotten to use this device on one trip, but it was extremely useful. Instead of searching through a huge map I just scrolled around on the display making it allot easier. The best advantage of this device is the price. For a device of such high calibar it is extremely cheap, although only on AMAZON. There are better color devices, but you are going to be expected to pay a couple hundred dollars more. This is a great item, and if you are looking for not-so- complex GPS, or you want a more economic device, and want a beutiful color display, this is definately the GPS for you.

Roadmate 700 is an excellent unit. It is fully functional out of the box. Biggest problem was putting on the windshield mount. It's menu driven input makes it extremely easy to put in destinations. The accuracy of the unit is very good as is the rapidity with which it picks up GPS signals. The previous destination list is excellent for returning to previous destinations without putting them in your address book. I recommend this unit very highly

If you are looking for a simple to use, intuitive, fast and accurate GPS, this is the model for you.  This has minimal bells and whistles but is rich on screen clarity, size and slender profile.  The touch screen is responsive, fast and accurate and very easy to use even while driving.  For the person that wants basic good quality without the confusing bells and whistles, this is a superb choice.  I took this device on some obscure back (dirt) roads in a mountainous part of our state and it found every address flawlessly.  I was impressed!!

Great GPS for a great price.  I highly recommend this GPS.  I have had no issues getting from A to B using this device. I have owned one for two years.

Can't attest to longevity as it is new...but this is a great GPS at this price point (got mine slightly cheaper elsewhere, sorry Amazon). The last Garmin I purchased was one of the original, bulky units that sat on the dash (sometimes) sand bag and all for over $500.00. Gone are those days and here is a unit with a great display, suction cup, and features as well as lifetime maps. A good package all around from the leader in GPS. I've been through a Tom Tom (user friendly, but lacked features) and even a Magellan. Full circle, the new Garmin Nuvi 55LM is a slim, sleek, user friendly unit with features such as trip planner, logging your trips, and even option to use as a rear view camera with additional accessories. The 5" display is more than adequate; 6" may even be cumbersome. Some would say.

This gps is great. You can't beat it I've been checking out gps devices for quiet some time and nothing comes close to this one. It tells you your speed, and it warns you when your speeding. It does to much its ridiculous. I recommend this to any one who is looking for a colored, touch screen, 3D, gps device.

Did extensive research for years before purchasing a handheld GPS.  Originally considered the Gpsmap 60 series long ago.  For my money, the 62st was easily the best cost / performance combination.  I have been using a Gpsmap 276C in car and boat.  Really like the technical reporting features of it and similar features of the 62st.  I know that the touchscreen units may seem more appealing,  but the 62st is very easy to use and I really like the former factor and quad helix antenna.  The unit cold starts quickly and gets to 6-10 foot accuracy in a snap.  The included 100k topo map, while not routable,  was only a small increase in the unit price.  I will use the purchased 24k topo for my region and may also spring for the full North America street map for routing and POI info.

In summary, this unit is rock solid and a good value.  Great battery life and easy to use on the trail.  Also great for downloading and locating Geocaches.

I had a Garmin system in the past, but this is by far the best one of the two. It has a huge screen, it is easy to operate, and it even tells you the speed limit for the road. My favorite feature is the visual representation of the direction you need to go. (It has definitely saved me from re-calculating a route or two.) I love this GPS system! You would be crazy not to get it, especially since it is so darn cheap in comparison with other GPS systems in its class. (Believe me, I have done my homework.) Buy their product; it's awesome.

This is the best TomTom GPS (or any GPS at all for the money --&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/TomTom-XXL-540TM-5-Inch-Widescreen-Portable-GPS-Navigator-Lifetime-Traffic-Maps-Edition/dp/B003B3P2CY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">TomTom XXL 540TM 5-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator (Lifetime Traffic & Maps Edition)</a>$115 at Amazon).  Lifetime map updates, Live traffic updates and a 5 inch screen make it a winner. Plus it has a lot of features the new TomTom's that use MyTomTom browser interface doesn't have, (finding Points of Interest (POIs) along routes, Mapshare, Downloadable Fuel prices, etc.)  TomTom tried to simplify the user interface with the MyTomTom instead of TomTom Home, but in simplifying it, they made it much less useful and powerful.  The XXL 550TM, VIA and GO GPS uses the MyTomTom instead of the TomTom Home.

Oh, and btw, to fix the mount so that it doesn't fall off like many of the other reviewers mentioned, moisten the cup each time before attaching it to the plate.  Also, I haven't found any additions that I want to use that necessitate expanded memory.

A far better GPS Then my old Garmin Novi 1350 LMT. This model is as good as a factory OEM unit.  You would pay much more from the car manufacturer and not get much more then it be part of your entertainment center. This you can remove from car and use anywere.
