    GPS Help

    So I am looking for a GPS that has around a 7m accuracy and that has a voice prompt that is a "Turn right on 1st Ave" rather then a Turn right in .5 miles.

     Its not that imperitive on the turn righ in .5 miles but greatly encouraged. Anyone got any tips on GPS?

    Re: GPS Help

    I'd probably get this NUVI

    I have the more basic widescreen NUVI that doesn't speak street names, but I always have my GPS on mute, just my preference.

    Re: GPS Help

    If you decide to go with Nuvi 200, I'd consider the widescreen version instead.

    Re: GPS Help

    Ah thanks for the tip, now the real question is, the pilots vs the nuvi, the pilots have text to speach, what is the main advantage of a nuvi of the same price?

    Re: GPS Help

    More compact, looks nicer, higher resolution and larger screen (for the widescreen).

    Re: GPS Help

    So to break it down...

     

    Pilot for the voice,

    Nuvi for the large screen and quality of the screen?

    Re: GPS Help

    It's ultimately up to you. For me it'd be Nuvi hands down, but as I've said before I always drive with the thing on mute.

    Re: GPS Help

    I ended up getting the Nuvi 360 :P It has both text to speech, and its smaller like the Nuvi 200, its not a wide screen but I can live.
