Members Thunderbroom Posted December 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Picked up the Garmin c550 today. I'm updating the software now and checking out the features. I'm thrilled that it actually has my home location right; my wife's is off about about 5 houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mike fitzwell Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 What's the main difference between the cheapies and a really good one? All this talk is making me think I should get one. I got lost a couple of months ago out in the middle of nowhere looking for a bar we were playing in a really small town in an area I was unfamiliar with. As luck would have it, I took the wrong fork in the road. GPS would have been a godsend. A few months ago I bought a Mio C220 for dirt cheap. No frills, but hot damn is it accurate. Tons of points of interest loaded in it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ThudMaker Posted December 7, 2007 Moderators Share Posted December 7, 2007 Thanks for the info T-Broom and Mike. I think I'll have to score one of the lower end ones. If worse comes to worse and a cheap one gets me lost, I'll just hit the on-star button on my mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
