Yea I think of all the times I've met up with somebody to buy parts or just anytime I've used google.maps I could have just used a gps.

My Garmin was one of my favorite investments, its nice for directions, but if a road is closed or something in an area you need to get through, it'll tell you where to go.

definitly prevents headaches :D

I actually have a Sony GPS for sale if you're interested. It's the NVu70. Here's a review on it http://reviews.cnet.com/car-gps-navigation/sony-nv-u70/4505-3430_7-31637430.html.

It's been great for me, it's pretty much a first time buyer's GPS. The only thing I wish it had was traffic info, but it's not a big deal.

Thanks for posting up that coupon. I printed it, went in to Best Buy and picked up a Nuvi 260W just an hour ago! 299 - $50

One thing I don't like already about the GPS. When you try to just type in Maple Grove, Blaine, Plymouth, Albertville, it doesn't recognize any of those as being cities in MN.

I have no clue, I just plugged it in for the first time an hour ago. Say that you're in Plymouth, someone calls you and says "MEET US AT MAJORS IN BLAINE". So you go to "points of interest, food, american" and then you hit NEAR. You then type in Blaine, and it gives you Blaine in all sorts of other states except MN. So you end up having to just search for Majors, and sift through all of them until you reach the Blaine one. Kind of retarded I think.

Can you type in Blaine, MN? You'd think it would automatically know where you are and give results based on that.
