Hi, I have been asked by a (W.A.) Caravanner who is about to head off to get them a new GPS.
I have three myself, a TomTom GO 1050, a Garmin Nuvi and a Hema.
I have had it with TomTom as it cannot be navigated whilst moving, no I dont use my phone, smoke, talk/whatever distracts me and I have a clean driving record so no nanny state stuff please.
It is a couple heading off so passenger can do the navigating if required.
I have found, as most of you have, that besides wanting to know
well in advance which lane to progress over to (the sooner the better being from the country myself) in the big smoke, where the Supermarket is or the bottleshop,
bakery or fuel/whatever is BEFORE you get to the park/parkup.
My 10 year old Garmin Nuvi can be used whilst moving and is the least frustrating, I dont use the Hema in town and they do not need a Hema.
Can somebody please tell me if the current Garmin units are able to be used whilst moving. I also think the Garmin menu is very easy so I hope they do to.
I also recommended lifetime maps to them as they are not so into the computer to keep things up to date and I know the TT tells you when to plug it in so I hope the Garmin does too, I think its the way to go instead of continually paying up.
They have a reverse camera already, just need a simple easy to use unit with Free lifetime Maps, whatever lifetime means eh !!
Dont need any "whoflungdung" GPS, a main player. Sorry for the novel.
Have a safe drive. Thanks.
Dont mean to start another GPS war, just want to know what the towers are using.
