None, but I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for ideas later.

Magellan Maestro 3225

it's not the greatest GPS in the world but it serves me well and it pretty durable.

I got a new phone a few days ago and must say that I am very happy with the built in GPS! It uses Telenav and so far it has been flawless. The only problem whatsoever is that it is slow to initially boot up but after that, very, very good. Oh and the fact that I can't get it to talk to me through a blue tooth headset... My phone has an almost 4'' screen so it pretty easy to see. Not bad for FREE!!! I was going to buy a new GPS but I think that between my old GPS and my phone, I should be alright!

My HTC touch pro has a program called "QuickGPS". What it does, is every 6 days you start it up and hit one button. It downloads satellite info and stores it for 6 days. Makes google maps find your position within seconds.

I had the Telnav software on my Samsung blackjack (which required the bluetooth GPS receiver). It worked fairly well with the exception of out in Colorado where it was convinced that the highway I was on was supposed to be several hundred feet to my right (which was a field IIRC) and kept recalculating the route.

I'm hoping they fixed that

Newegg.co has the garmin 205w for $99 and the 285w for $120.

Ordered a garmin 885t and ram mount. I hope it works out.

Mr Lefty · 04-07-2010, 04:11 PM

strongly considering a new GPS... mine works fine... but I cannot connect it to my computer... which is where I do all my routing... and if I plan a route on the unit itself... and it's got more than 10 way points... it "calculates" forever.

Well the garmin 885t seems to be good. I'll test the routing tomorrow. The mp3 player works nicely and I can enter in waypoints by selecting a spot on the map, address, or by coordinates.
