What GPS do you use?

Ninergrad · 02-21-2009, 12:13 PM

I have a TOM TOM One with 2008 map pack of US and Canada.
Lot's of cool features. Had it since 2006ish, internal battery is almost dead now and you can't replace it. But it works awesome besides that. Really good and clear directions and fast satellite connection time.

I use the GARMIN NUVI 760 i love it bad ass

Crookster777 · 02-21-2009, 12:50 PM

REC Nav/Backup Camera

I love it but sometimes it gives me directions that increases the destination time.

with being such a computer guy why didnt you ever make a car-puter with everything..

Actually started that on my 4.0, but couldn't find cheap touchscreen to run the windows media center. Plus to install that i would have to loose two front vents for the heater and I wasn't down with that. But they are actually small enough boards and components to make one that fits in your glovebox.
I was also gonna use a motion computing LE800 tablet pc(look it up) but it requires a gay stylus to use the screen as touch screen, so that wasn't gonna work.

a buddy of mine did this in his XJ and he mounted the screen with bondo etc.. the screen was like 125 bucks or so definately not bad now.. he put all the guts inside his arm rest on his xj they are a little bigger

Remember what screen that was by chance?

I have the Garmin Nuvi 750. Biggest POS out there and I will never buy another Garmin product. They are so overrated. Thing takes several minutes to turn on. Is constantly recalculating and randomly creating a new route for no reason. I am usually .2 or .3 miles past my stop before the voice tells me to turn or that I have arrived. When I build a route and optimally calculate it always delete my end point and will put a random waypoint back in as the endpoint.

Oh yeah and Garmin tech support? What a joke. To save yourselves some time don't ever call them. They will do nothing for you but suggest running and update which made my GPS worse than it already was.
