Hi, I have a Garmen C530 and love it. However, I am thinking of upgrading to a newer GPS and was wondering what would be a good device to get..
I will be giving my Garmin to my father in law btw. What I am looking for that I dont have in the C530 is the Text to speach and the MP3 player. I love the touch screen and the size of it is good (could be bigger but not smaller) I love the idea of the external m,emery and rhe use of the poi files.. Not sure about the Traffic cord since I have not seen it in action.
You can see ithis can be a big choice on GPS.. Any model i will look at.. However, I am going towards a garmin. money is not a issue since now they are all under the $600.00 price.
Any help in this will be greatly helpful at this time!! Thanks in advance.
If I need to answer any other questions, just ask and will let you know!

Yeah, you definitely might want to look at that series since they have the ability to store routes which is something that many nuvi owners have been clamoring for.

I think you would be pleased with the Nuvi 350 as it will satisfy all your requirements: Touch screen; good size screen; MP3 player, SD card (4G); Text to speech; In addition, the Nuvi 350 is compact enough to stick in a shirt pocket and does a lot more. Price is reasonable. For a very bucks more the 360 has blue tooth. Jake

I also have the C530. I was thinking that if I upgraded I would get the Nuvi 350. However, the new Nuvi 750 is so feature rich it would now be my choice. The link below give a nice description of the new 750.

The StreetPilot series are nice. Why don't you try the c580. It seems to have everything you're asking for and Costco is having it on sale for $350. The Nuvi are nice and have bigger screens but you're also paying a little more.
was looking at some of my old posts..
and belive it.. I still did not upgread but may soon do so.. my garmin is not even supported any longer.. looks like that are gettingt rid o0f all the streetpilot version very soon.. what a jump from about a year or so ago..

You will Love It
The 700 series are top of the line GPSRs. You will not be sorry with any of them. If you have a Bluetooth cell phone I would suggest one with Bluetooth
compatibility.
