mikechec, is he on this board? i would love to get in contact with him to see his full review of the product. i just dont wanna get something subpar that i will have to live with later on, ya know? cuz i was looking at the diff btw the GO 300 and the GO 700.. 300 uses preloaded SD card w/ all of USA.. 700 has built in HD with USA/Canada. but reviews seem to say that mapping on the 300 isnt quite as good. reviews on the 700 were much better.. so basically i wanted to know if his is the 300 or the 700..

i believe it is the GO series. the owner/poster, glynn, basically swears by it. im assuming that there is a larger version.

I got a Garmin when hand-held GPS first came out about 10 years ago. I enjoyed mine when I lived in Colorado and actually used it. I haven't stayed up on the brands so I know nothing about what is good or bad. They are pretty fun and easy to use, especially when you learn how to program the latititue and longitude to create waypoints and make routes, etc.

i here from credible sources that the tom tom is dead-on-balls accurate.

I have a handheld Magellan. Sometimes it takes like 10 minutes to find all the satellites, but once it does, it's pretty good.
