Having the GPS mounted right in front of you sure seems safer than holding your phone with 1 hand or continuously looking down at it. Then of course, I can go get myself a phone dock, but that means I can't read my incoming texts or pick up calls, which I'm not supposed to do anyways. Just leave me alone with my GPS!!

Can't post a direct link, but search B0057OCDQS (the Amazon product ID) over at Camel Camel Camel to see the historical pricing. |

Now the traffic is useless for me where I live, only a couple highways and no real traffic issues, but in any big city it is SOO useful. If you click "I bought this", you'll automatically REP IT and thumb Are you infected with the Conflicker Virus? 10 second test [kallenweb.com] |

I currently have the TomTom XXL 540TM and love the way it helps me avoid traffic, but it is a bit sluggish to respond to key presses. When starting a route it takes reported traffic in mind when planning the route. While driving, it occasionally rescans for traffic and if it finds more it:
a) Tells you how many minutes the new traffic delay is. b) Will tell you if still on fastest route or if it now has a faster route. c)If there is faster route, you choose to take the new route or continue on the old. I have read reviews on lots of the Garmins, and it seems they dont do this. It notifies you if it finds new traffic, but you then have to tell it to find a detour? Is this true with this model? How exactly does the traffic RErouting work? And how well does it work? Last edited by mbelsky; 12-04-2012 at 12:27 PM.. |
