Navigation unit for $150-200


Trouble Maker

Recommended Posts

Me and my sister are going to get my parents a navigation unit for Christmas in that price range.

 

She has the Tom Tom One 130 and wants to get them that.

 

I did some research and was thinking about suggesting the 130s that adds text-to-speech for $200.

 

A coworker also bought a Navigon for his now fiance last Christmas and they really like it. I remembered reading an article about the 2200T. $200 and lifetime traffic, lane assist, text-to-spech, 'real' road signs. Seems like a deal?

 

It also better have one of the updated GPS chips that are more sensitive. I would hope no one is still using the old chips that can take forever to get a lock on their location.

 

Anyone have anything to say about any of these units, or any other ones they would suggest in that price range.

 

We've got $10 in BB rewards right now too... so that would be a slight plus if it's there.

 

TIA.

I bought the lowest end Tom Tom that does the text to speech option at best buy. It was $200 and came with $10 gift card to best buy. It seemed like a good enough one for the price. My wife is going to love it when she opens it on Christmas.

i worked some time with them and it seems that everyone loved the navigon, you get alot more for your money.

 

only thing i will say for any GPS regardless of the model. make sure if you have any issues with them just push the reset button (usually need a paperclip to push them) and they will be fine. i cannot tell you how many times people would come in and say their GPS doesn't work right and we would just reset them and send them on their way.

 

persoannly i have a Magellan dont remember the model and i like it alot, (retail was close to 400) i got it on clearance so the deal wasn't bad

 

seems anyone that is in the knowlage of the GPS usally says get a Magellan, Garmin, and some say tom tom but they supposedly are not up to date as most.
