Hmmm, I'm tempted since prices are dropping, but wonder how much I need it. I don't travel on business anymore and don't tend to go on too many trips to unfamiliar places.
I'm pretty good at using yahoo maps to find a destination and print or write out directions. But it is a pain to keep track of mileage to the next turn, and to be looking in the dark for a street sign and slowing down at 5 intersections in a row to see if this is where I need to turn.
And then there's deciding which one. I don't want to spend too much, so the Nuvi 360, $249 online at costco.com looks good now. But there's always features like the 780 has that the last post pointed out that look nice.
Then I'm wondering if I should get the 370, since I'm going two weeks to Europe this summer. But I won't have a car, so I'd need to find a way to recharge it, and that doesn't sound easy with the different plug types and all, but maybe it has a Euro style AC plug as well. But just knowing where something is in Europe is no good if I don't know which bus or train to get on to get there, so I'm thinking to go with US/Canada maps only. If I get one at all.
