Hello there Guys, just wanted to get your thoughts on what is the BEST GPS unit out there. I am a Big Fan of TomTom and yet I never bought any GPS unit. I feel that I really need one of these gadgets to make my driving more enjoyable. So this is where i need your guys help. Can you guys recommend me Good GPS Units (Especially TomTom)? I am also open to other brands too, I just wanted to ask if there are any Good TomTom Units. Thank You Guys For Your Help!

My Budget - $100-$200
My Favorite - TomTom Brand
My Usage - Car/Truck

1. Have you actually used a TomTom unit?
2. Since TomTom is your "favorite" and you're a "big fan", why consider any other units?

add garmin to the list
btw garmin is the american brand

founders are Gary Burrell and Min Kao

and yes, it keeps you on track, mostly by voice, squinting at the screen is dangerous, its too small and low res for much on the fly looking, but the voice will reguide/fix your route if you deviate. its comforting.
and of course u can find shops and such.

That is why I said that I am open to other brands too.

Also 0eoo0roo, do you have an recommendations on what is good garmin within my budget. I just took a quick look at the website and I found nuvi 1350.

just get the one within your budget, they are all pretty decent
the only stay away brand was sony..low feature/high price or the no name ones.
