Do any of you use them? and which brand is the best?

I kind of like the tomtom wide screen with the text-to-speech. like the one xl s.
or the 130 xl s what ever its called...

lets hear what you use to navigate to different football stadiums etc... (there, now it is football related)

do the garmin units announce street names?

or does it say turn left in 500 feet? (like I know how far 500 feet is)

GPS units are awesome. They have bailed me and one of my friends out a couple of times. It could of been fatal because we were in Oak Cliff golfing trying to make it to the West End in Dallas

I have a garmin 350 and it's great. I wouldn't think of going on a trip without it.

I have a Garmin. It works in my plane (airspaces, obstructions, terrain, airports, MOA's, PaPa 49 etc) in my car (all the streets in the USA, nearest anything like Ethnic food, Hotels, Shopping, entertainment etc) and in my boat (Water depth, solar/lunar tables, tides etc)

Best thing is it only cost about $40,000.00. The plane it came in was free with the GPS.

Life is great.
