Cool little NAV System - GreenHybrid

I recently purchased the TomTom Navigator 5 GPS system for my Treo 650 phone and it is awesome! Very precise directions, a giant points of interest database, gives speed readings, distance and time to destination, even provides traffic alerts.

It's very cool. And it only cost $299!

Plus you can take it out for walking, biking or from car to car. Do that with a Prius' nav system!

TomTom makes some nice GPS software.
I dont care for it on the Treo because you are suppposed to turn off the phone portion while you are using it and teh screen is a little small for mounting it on your windshield.
I bought a package that contained a Zire 72s that I solely use for the GPS device. It is fairly accurate, but works great for gettign to places I have never been before. Used it on vacation this year.

Great addition for someone with an old HCH that envies the '06 nav system.

Hi Guys:

___My own personal favorite and if I could have purchased an inexpensive but accurate scan gauge with a real time instantaneous meter, I would have passed on the Accord’s NAVI too …

Sounds nice. Is the screen big enough? TomTom has some sweet stuff.

I'm using the Zire 72 setup as well Turpin.
