| 1172058 | 2011-01-26 18:06:00 | is it reasonably fast?? what about signal reception???.... and the main point is spoken out voice instructions, does it do that??As well as several Garmins GPS and other units I also have a noname $250 Trademe 7" 800x480 FM Blutooth CE5 GPS device. Easy on the eyes but sun glare can be an issue. I made a matt black shade to suit. While not as sensitive as the Garmins it performs perfectly attached to the windscreen of my van. The included iGO software is good and it does "spoken out voice instructions". One BIG advantage is the ability to add other software if you are prepared to experiment a little. I have running on mine: OZIExplorer, iGO8, Garmin MobileXT, TomTom, Navitel Navigator and amiGO. Garmin nuvis are much better in bright sunlight than any Navman,Tomtom or "Supercheap, repco special" I have tested (many :waughh:). |

| 1172060 | 2011-01-27 18:39:00 | HN are listing a nuvi 255W at $199. Not the latest but will have everything you need. Shop around and bargain. My last GPS purchase a couple of weeks back from HN - nuvi 1250 $249 down to $138. |
