Default GPS Receiver

So, is anyone using a GPS receiver in their vehicle?

I've started looking around and thinking about the Garmin Nuvi 350



Anyone have any feedback or advice?

I heard it was good lol, but can't say from personal experience, I've seen other Garmin's at work, and they are really nice and easy to follow. Emily is the best voice, she's the English chick.

I would certainly go with a Garmin. I think they are the best to date. Be sure that you check them all out. We bought one for my dad-- the voice was louder and it works just great.

I'm currently using a Garmin GPS 72 Handheld GPS. I bought it 5 months ago for only $120. It's very convenient to use.

I am currently using Garmin's nuvi 660 and I am quite happy with that. When traveling to far locations GPS is the best and I am quite happy with the money spent on them.

I can't help but want a double DIN solution like the Pioneer AVIC Z3. They're so bad.

I am currently staying in Thailand and I have a Mio mobile phone which has a great GPS included on a large touch screen.

We ended up getting a Pioneer AVIC-F500BT.

It's pretty damned sweet.

I would like to hook up a gps receiver to my car, but my cig lighter doesn't have an auxillary so I want to hard wire it to my car using this charger I found on amazon, but I am not sure where to wire it too.

Any suggestions? Its a 1988 Maxima
