[s-cars] Navigation

[Bruce Mendel]

Just thought I'd let you guys know I bought the TomTom Go navigation system (www.tomtom.com). I paid $639 delivered for the unit with the 256MB SD card (1MB SD card unit, the Go Plus, is about $150-$200 more), and there's a $50 rebate going on now.

The device is beautiful to look at, simple to operate, and very well thought out. Even the packaging is first-class. It's very small, with amazing sound quality. Navigation is first rate. Only downside is it can be tough to see in direct sunlight, and the night-time display setting is blue rather than Audi red!

I am not one to add stuff to the car's interiors, but this unit is worth the price if you are interested in adding navigation. In my opinion, it blows away the Magellan and other similarly or even higher priced portable GPS units.
