anybody havve a reccomendation on these things?
I use Garmen
garmin what? the tom tom line?
I use Garmin as well. I am on my second one in 3 years. Garmin’s customer service is top notch. My first unit went bad after 2 years. (The old models had a spinning hard drive that was prone to failure.) Mine was out of warrenty so I had to pay to have it fixed. I sent it to them, they fixed it and sent it back. When I received it, it only worked for 1 day and then stopped working again. Well I called then back and for no additional charge Garmin replaced it with a brand new in the box model top of the line model. I did not have to complain one bit, they just offered. With that, I am now a Garmin customer for life.

I have the Garmin Nuvi 360 that I just purchased and I love it. I bought my wife the c330 about 2 years ago and she has not had a problem with it at all. That is why I decided to purchase another Garmin. The Nuvi that I have also has bluetooth which is great because I hate wearing the ear pieces.
Garmin 330, thumbs up

I think David Valley has Tom-Tom, check with him.
I use Dell’s NAVTEK system since I already have a Dell PDA so the nav set up was about $200.
Magellan Roadmate 2000, great system for under $200
Garmin
Garmin 60 csx
Yes. Save your money and buy a map. They worked just fine for Magellen and all those other guys.
Several times now, I have used a map to get real close and then
could not find the street or things got confusing. I flipped on the
GPS (Garmin) wizard… and pow… there was the voice directed
map showing me the way, just when I needed it.
Sometimes I see what looks simple on a map, and then the GPS
takes me all the way in, if things get complex.
And if I am confused (which I am most of the time)… the GPS
guides me out of the maze of streets to my home again.
It pays for itself.
I used a Garmin for a couple years. Now I use the Pioneer AVIC-Z1.
GPS navigation, wireless updates, voice activated, integrated Bluetooth for hands free phone, XM Radio, XM Traffic, CD/DVD player, Audio Recorder. . . 
I use Navone from Cobra…Love It…
You know…JEFF just was SOOOO RREEADDDYYYY to post that system again…lol…Mr. MoneyBags

In my area we have something called “King’s Companion Street Atlas” that covers the Twin cities metro area and Western Wisconsin. It covers most of my service area. It is very easy to use and very detailed including school districts, zip code areas, townships etc. Uses a grid system. It’s a bit old fashioned but works quite well.
