I have a 2610, best investment I made in a few years. Mine works off a card and doesn't have a built in hard drive like the newest, but I like the card better. I can load topo maps when I need them and street maps seperate.
I wouldn't be without one in my vehicle, but I would stick with aftermarket/portable units, both for convenience and not to be at the car dealers mercy. __________________ Retired power lineman

I recently used one that was I think called the TomTom, I don't remeber who the manufacturer was. It was pre loaded with software for North America. It was awesome! It would talk you directly to your destination. Well worth the investment.

Still reading a map while driving is called stupid  __________________ "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

While lost in a strange area, or on a interstate, alone during rush hour, they're worth their weight in gold, gilding you and saving time and grief, getting you to your destination Now, frigging "cell phones", while designed as a aid also, have been abused and are a cancer, eating at our society, but I don't want to hijack the post. __________________ Retired power lineman

I've never used one in Jersey and I've always arrived where and when I was supposed to. Don't get me wrong technology is great, cell phones, fish finders ect. I just don't have the need for a gps in my vehicle. __________________ Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

I have one and I swear it saved me more money than the initial cost going from job to job at the shortest possible route. Its one helluva tool. __________________ I’m a Republican because everyone can’t be on welfare.
