Re: Major Price Drop for GPS Units

The ONE can basically recalculate faster than you can make a u-turn, which is all that should matter. Since recalculation speed is so similar, I think you have to compare these units by other features such as price, mapping, and how user-friendly they are. IMHO the ONE wins in all of those categories at moment. Does anybody have anything else to add? I love talking GPS and this is pretty well informed thread.
Thanks for the info... I eventually went with the Nuvi 360 per BlackElantraGT's eagle eyes on that Fry's ad. I've got a Hawaii trip and I'm inputting "a few" favorite addresses and it's simply a breeze to work with. I used a friend's Nuvi 350 last year and thought it was the coolest thing...

I didn't think I would use the bluetooth feature with my cell phone, but after using it the first time, I was hooked. I put a 4GB SD card in my 360 and it's now my IPOD, if you will. This will get hooked up into our Pilot which has an auxiliary input so I "should" be able to have phone conversations over the stock stereo speakers... at least that's my hypothesis at this point... We'll put that to the test over the weekend.
