I have one that came with the Cherokee (2006 car - found out the NAV is from 2002....).

Bought a Lowrance iWay 500C about 18 months ago. Hated it and ended up giving it to my Dad.

Went to Europe and rented a Garmin with the car - LOVED IT - came back and bought one - Garmin StreetPilot c340. It's the in Wrangler and it's awesome. I like it a lot better than the one in the Cherokee.

Im gonna get one this christmas. I suck at finding locations when I drive...

I use a HP PDA which has GPS/wifi and TomTom bundled, that way it's a standard navigator in the car but it can also do other useful things.

If you have NO idea where you're going then it's probably useful, but the maps will never be 100% accurate or complete (some streets that existed for a year before I bought the device don't exist in my version, and near to home it thinks a closed off road is a T intersection). Most trips of any distance involve one or two freeways nearby so I usually ignore its bleating until I'm closer to the destination.

One annoying quirk of the tomtom software is that if it thinks you're off the road (eg set back on a long driveway) it will stop giving you routing instructions and just indicate that you should move to the road. This by itself isn't a problem, but once I start venturing further out into rural areas the line of the road on the map doesn't seem to match where I'm actually driving, which means it could stop giving directions for several minutes at a time. I was once driving west for about 15 minutes "off the road" (according to the nav) when I should have actually been going north.

Thank you very much! These posts all help!!!

Blah blah blah

Nuvi is badass... I also had a C320 but the NUVI is just so much better that I gave the C320 to my in-laws.

LOL I have DS250 on ignore, stop quoting that pathetic Torrent loving piece of shit :thumbsup

Id go with the Garmin as well. I have the Street Pilot now and im upgrading to the Nuvi soon. A great toy:)

I've been really happy with my TomTom. Like Rowan, I've had some issues with rural areas.

The most current was this past weekend, downtown Philadelphia. I was in the middle of turning when the GPS would tell me another direction. Really narrow streets, and a dense skyline seem to affect it negatively.

I had a Destinator ND for a short time and it totally shitted me up the wall. It would say things like "turn right... (pause)... 3 kilometres ahead." It also directed me to do a U-turn on a freeway, or drive through a locked gate into a restricted area of an airport.

There were too many of these little niggly annoyances so I took it back for a refund.

works good for me

exactly

get a tomtom faster cpu speed faster recalcing routes nice features, garmins are good but for in car use get a tt

I need to get one of these things.

I thought my husband purchasing a GPS was just him buying another toy...but you know what?- its one of the most useful toys he has purchased in a long time.

We've used it now on several trips and its bang on....much easier than using a map....I highly recommend buying one.
We have the Garmin 360, but I heard the 600 series is great.
