Ok, i need gps like i need aanother *******, then again....Anyways. Who has what? I was in a mercedes the other day and loved the in dash unit, there was an arrow on the scren on a map showing us where we were and moved with the map. Very cool. I think next time i blow money i might get a toy like that. So whats out there in the next gen X's now?

What are you looking to use it for? Just street navigation?

I have a cobra GPSM2500 pretty cool unit i am very happy with it
only thing is that it doesn't have a trail capture option so it is not ideal for off road navigation cheap price thought

max6spd......thas like what id want.......sweet. Cost? Radio too?


Muzik....more or less for the ehll of it is why i want it. But it would be cool to be able to see where i am on a trail, for shits and giggles. Yours is a little over the top for me though. I dont want to take up a bunch more space with it like yours.

Personally, I would get the Garmin GPS60CSx. It will do street navigation (though no voice nav) if you buy/load the street maps. It will do trails if you install the Topo map and it's hand held.

Dont need the voice.......and it does the trails? Like yours kinda? Thats sweet. Thanks jason.

 

[Muzikman]

I don't know when you plan to buy, but I have one if you want to look at it the next time you make it to a run.

 

[Mark]

Ill deffintaly check yours out next run.......when will that be?

 

[miles]

I agree with muzikman Garmin 60csx...is the way to go...

If you had asked me 3 months ago, I'd have agreed with you on the Garmin 60CSX. Now with the Delorme Earthmate PN-20 out, I am leaning towards it. Sat imagery, quad maps, (both for a small fee and a credit towards them when buying the unit) Topo USA and soon Street Atlas from what I understand. The specs of the unit appear to be similar to the Garmin, and price is way cheaper. Just having the quad maps on a GPS unit makes it interesting for off road. As with any new unit, there are bugs, but Delorme tech support appears to be on top of things.

DUDE! That things looks and sounds kick ass! Are you going to get it? I think in the next two weeks ill be shopping for something like it......

I just got my Garmin Street Pilot 2730 and I love the damn thing. It does XM Radio and XM Traffic.

I'm looking at picking up the Magellan Crossover GPS. It will give me great street turn by turn directions and it will work on the trails for offroading, trails for hiking, and slopes for skiiing and using the MountainDynamics.com product.

 

[Mark]

Damn.....there is too much stuff to look at.

 

[Muzikman]

Wait, someone is making (or made) a hand held unit that uses 1:24K topo maps? I'm there...

I need another GPS like I need a hole in my head.

 

[Muzikman]

As for the next trail run...I might be up for one this weekend.

 

[Mark]

Well now...........i think i would actually be available sunday if you could do that? Id leave at like 8am this time...........not waiting for turtles slow ass! But in his defense he was told last minute too.

 

[Muzikman]

Let me see if I have anything planned for Sunday and let me see if I can find a few other people that want to go out (unless you can get Dan and/or MC to come out). I'll let you know tomorrow. Maybe we could hit Ligonier.
