danballa Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hey guys/gals, I'm looking for a GPS that has spoken street names, blue-tooth, Lane guidance, multiple point routing, MP3 player, and be able to have routes d/l to it from a computer. 4.3 size please. I don't really care about mounting, waterproof, shock resistant, traffic, or stuff like that, as the majority of time that it will be used, it will be kept in a tank bag, or jacket pocket.I don't want to spend a fortune either, $200. or less would be great. The cheaper the better, as I don't expect it to be used too much. I'd rather put my money towards maintenance or upgrades on my bike, or gear.Thanks for any suggestions.

Likwid Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 You're expecting too much for that price... you can get TTS (street names), routes/multi-point, and possibly BT for under 200...The rest bumps up the price by quite a bit... unless someone here has one they're dying to give away...

crf69 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 garmin zumo 550......i have one and it's the best (you will quickly get over the 600 dollar price) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUYZFR1 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I'm looking for a lot of the same features. How about this one, think it has everything you are looking for? http://www.circuitcity.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4388083&csid=ITD&body=MAIN#detailspecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danballa Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 So I was looking up that 765t that Hoblick suggested. I saw refurbished ones for $180. and new ones for about $220. Any reasons I shouldn't get it that anyone knowsThe Zumo 550 would be nice, but I can't justify the cost for it.Anyone have personal experience with the 765t and able to offer personal input on it? Likes/dislikes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crf69 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 The 550 zumo is shock proof....water proof.....dust proof......gas proof......those are the major selling points for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likes/dislikes?did you ever end up with a 765t? I really want to get a new gps where I can plan the route on the computer and transfer it to the GPS. The zumo is just too far out of my price range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Does the title of this thread fall under "irony"?I came into this thread only to say 'Gonna be hard to find without a GPS'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 so just for future reference in case anyone searches for this again. The Garmin Nuvi 750 and 765 are confirmed able to make your own route via mapquest.com and send it to the unit. I just did it with success!

Big Green Valley Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 You can plan routes with Google Maps and transfer it to the Nuvi 550 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I have a older Nuvi. Anyone have any map updates they could email me? I'd rather not pay for it. I'm not sure if they expire the files or not but my maps are out of date. Edited February 2, 2011 by Gump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 garmin zumo only way to go....pricey as hell but i went broke buying mine and do not regret it!!!!as much as I'd love a zumo, couldn't beat $60 for the 750. The zumo has way more functions than I need, all I care about is custom making a route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
