I have a Garmin Nuvi 5000 on the way. I wanted the largest screen Garmin had. It comes in at 5.2" diagonally. Can't wait to use it!

 

Get something with a 7 inch screen. Despite what anyone tells you they are NOT happy with their 4 inch baby screen.

It's all lies!!

 

Make sure u get something that has strong satellite signal.
I was using my friends Garmin nuvi and that thing was telling me to take turn/exit after the fact.

 

my mom has a garmin (not sure what model) but it does the trick quite nicely. The first few times I drove with it it was so distracting I nearly crashed h:

 

I used a Garmin Nuvi on my was to N.A.S Lemoore this weekend an it was pretty cool. It gives you points of interest, gas, police and fire stations that are closest to you. It also tells you when you have an exit or a turn coming up. I'm thinking about getting one for the b-day that's coming up in 6 days.

 

i have the ONE XLS thats on amazon... i like it... but its not as 'fancy' as i would like h: ... does say streetnames which is a ++

 

I've used both TomTom and Garmin. I liked the Garmin's interface much better.

 

same here. not to mention garmin's routing software is 100x better...
