Pros
Intuitive menus, bright easy to read screen, very detailed maps, small and easy to mount.
Cons
Sometimes questionable routing, short battery life, multiple and possibly confusing...
Recommended it?
Yes
As a die hard user of traditional maps (and more recently, Google Maps on my iPhone) I have reluctantly held back from the temptation to buy an automotive based GPS system.
However, with a 7000 mile cross-country (and back) RV vacation planned for this summer, it became increasingly clear...

Small, light, easy to use interface, accurate, flexible.
Cons
Initial lock-on needs to be done standing still, more turn warning time.
Recommended it?

I wanted a simple, inexpensive way to add GPS functions to my Palm Treo 650 phone/PDA, and the GPS 10 Bluetooth receiver + Garmin's Que software seemed to fit the bill. For me, this setup was preferable to a stand-alone GPS unit for the car since I almost always have my phone with me, plus...

Pros
Great maps, great GPS reception, easy to use software that is POWERFUL and full featured.
Cons
Lack of bundled mounts... But, you aren't forced to buy mounts that aren't...
Recommended it?
Yes
I recently decided to get a GPS solution for my car. I'm a computer consultant, so I travel a lot. I used to use Microsoft Streets and Trips to create a map of where I was going that day, but, there isn't exactly any easy way to flexibly change the order of the route or add new stops when I'm...
