Best Car GPS Navigation
I know all about the aftermarket GPS in car navigation because I bought and used them all. I tried Magellan, TomTom, PocketPC bluetooth GPS, etc... They all failed to meet my standard for varies reasons: My brother's Magellan is slow to acquire satellite, sensitive to heat (I am in sunny California). Tomtom's map is poor, there were several addresses it could not find, and it would not tell me if the address is on the left/right of me. PocketPC GPS is a pain, battery is limited, map is questionable, Windows crash, startup delay, super glare under the sun. The reason Garmin 2610 is superior is because: 1. Even though its screen is small and only capable of 256 colors, it is very very viewable under the sun light. 2. Map is very good, I have yet to find an address it could not find. 3. Satellite acquisition is fast and reliable. 4. Voice navigation is good, if a bit too frequent. 5. Takes CF cards, which is cheap, fast, and high capacity. Now things that can make it even better: 1. A better car gps mount system. How about a good window mount? 2. Bigger LCD screen, resolution, and colors. 3. Internal battery would be good. 4. Reduce its bulky size. Tomtom can put everything in that small package and battery. 5. Make its user interface more friendly. Oh, I have had my Garmin Car GPS for over 8 months now. It performs fine under the scortching Southern California sun. I am very happy with it.
