Looking to buy a mobile navigation system for the Road.  Looking for some feed back on what some of you are using. I have used the Lowrance I-way200c and was reasonable happy with its features. Currently Looking at the Magellan line and the Tom Tom line of products based on Consumer Reports

I got my Garmin 76C Mapping unit from http://4x4books.com/ and got mine before West Marine got them in stock, at a cheaper price also.
Another place to compare prices is http://www.gpscity.com/ , I would look around. I found quite a price difference when I was looking.
I use mine in my truck, boat, and ATV because it's water proof and floats, and has color mapping. Sounds like you're looking for a unit to keep in the truck, those are nice because the screen is larger. Good luck.
LORD, please keep your arm around my shoulder, and your hand over my mouth. Amen

Garmin is the #1 Gps supplier in the world. Aircraft, yachts, vehicles, surveying equipment etc. They have the most resources and their product has the most features. Price is another thing.
2004 Kaw Vforce 700 twin. Mine
2005 Honda Rancher 350 Kev Mans
2002 Yamaha 80 Raptor Kev Mans
2000 Jeep Wrangler 4" lift, 33's, winched
1988 Harley FXRP Dropped and chopped
2003 Chevy Duramax 100+K and still cruising. 18mpg.

looking hard at the garmin 330c

Yeah, Garmin is definitely the best. I am looking at the Garmin 396&496. They are the best it gets and they know this so it reflects in their price.

Yeah, I really like the Triton 2000. pretty sweet to have handheld GPS with touchscreen and 2mp digital camera.

I think he wants a larger GPS for his car thought to use for navigation.

You won't regret getting a garmin. The customer support is the best I have ever seen.
When I got a laptop one of the cd's wouldn't install. They sent me a newer version of the
software free, normally a $50 fee.
