Has anyone used the new "STREET TO STREET" software with their Magellan Explorist XL GPS ? It's priced around $350, but there are a few In Car Navigation systems around cheaper than that. Do I use a cheapie Navigation system with the voice promps and the touch screen, which adding the software to the XL won't do ?
and just use the XL for trips. Any first hand experience ?

Hi Macca,
I haven't used the Street to Street yet with my Explorist XL, (still learning) but I did use a Tomtom last weekend in a hire car while in
Sydney. I was extremely impressed with the unit and have to say that voice instructions are worth every cent! If the $350 units are as good as a Tomtom, then that's the way I would go and just keep the GPS for trips.
Tomtom retails for between $800-$1100.
Cheers
Brian

Hi Brian,
yeah that's kinda the way I'm thinking, I used a friends a couple of weekends ago, It was very easy too use, touch screen which meant not fiddling with those little buttons, and with voice commands you don't need to look at the unit as much.
Cheers...Macca
