I am looking to get a new GPS and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with any? I am real intrested in the Garmin Streetpilot.

Just a few questions

As far as gps's go, if you want to use it in the car instead of a map, then a gps that does not have mapping built in is not really in the picture. however, usually the gps's that do have built in maps cost exponentially more then the ones that do not. i have a garmin etrex summit, which allows you to upload maps into it. it is pretty nice. i used it on a road trip a couple of times, and it worked great. it even comes with the barometric altimiter (whether anyone who doesn't jump out of a plane needs this or not is questionable). you could probably get away with one of the cheaper etrex units and not pay as much as you would for the streetpilot. ecost.com usually has pretty good prices on these things. good luck.

Magellan 330 Mapping GPS

I really like my Magellan 330 Mapping GPS. It has 16 MB memory (8 MB is fixed, the other 8 MB is for uploaded detail street maps). It has fully customizable menus and does just about everything you could ever want.

It tracks 12 channels at the same time and has WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation Signal) built in. It has memory for 500 way points and 20 reversible routes. It is small and light and it has a pretty big display screen. And it even floats!

The best part is, you can find them new for only $150. Used for under $100.
