Im looking at getting a good dash-top mount navi.I dont really want an indash because I want to beable to move it from vehicle to vehicle. Any one have any suggestions on which model/brand to get and where to purchase it at the best price.

garmin nuvi 350 ....got mine for the move and i love it...use it everyday and it works pretty good for me ..i havent gotten lost in san antonio yet...got it on ebay for $331 shipped ...it was a refurb but it looks and works like its new ...they go for 500+ at stores....they gf got the garmin c330 which is a slightly different model ...just a bit bigger and it doesnt have text to speech...but hers was 250 at c.c. brand new ....if u need to know anything else just let me know :top:

I also have the garmin nuvi 350 I bought it when they were new for 550 and its worth every penny. I have to drive all over to differente job sites and its great. You can get them much cheaper now as new models have come out but its all bs they just add better mp3 player's blue tooth and stupid stuff you dont need but the map is all the same. I also went with the portable just becauce I have 3 cars. ONly issue I have with it is the suction cup to stick it to the window sucks after moving it from car to car for a while. But I know ppl that have all sorts of differente ones and after a while the sunction cup just goes crappy.

I 'm also looking for a Navi and Have been asking around and so far Garmin and Tom Tom have been the most popular ones.

 

[07xrunner]

i think i may go with the tom tom

I'm waiting to see if either one will go on sale since school is just around the corner. Might find a good price.

watch ebay. if you wait long enough you should be able to hit a good deal.
just watch out for buy it now auctions...you can usually find things cheaper at other sites on the net once you calculate shipping and all the extra charges

Thanks for all the responses guys. I really need to get one soon. These New Jersey streets are killing me. :thumpdown:

i must have bidded on a unit like mine like 20 different times and i finally got it at the price i wanted ...got it two days before i was moving...just in time

Which one did you buy, how much, is it easy to operate?

Yeah I've had the unit since June it's just sitting here in my office.

I'm getting two pairs of these components

as well as all JL amps, wiring and W-6 V2 sub, full i Pod control steering wheel interface I'm just waiting on few more funds to come through.

All the work will be done by New Age Audio in Fullerton. Mylo the owner is extremely meticulous when it come to installs. I'm hoping to get a lot of install pics.
