[T3] GPS recommendations?

[Adriel Rowley]

The new TomTom I have doesn't do this. Is yours new? 

I really like the TomTom, but will admit I was limited as wanted it from  
Best Buy for the warranty. The Arizona heat seems to kill them, as already  
turned in one. But, they gave me a better one with lifetime traffic maps. I  
don't drive in traffic because of my Autism. Also, I can get low fuel price  
for it; my first one which was given to me had a free year with it, but  
never used it.

I found at least with the TomTom it will stick to about any smooth surface.  
Real handy for autos with small windshield like the type 3, or even smaller,  
fifth generation Buick Riviera. Got to be especially careful in Comufornia  
about view obstruction so gotten used to having a clear windshield  
especially when parking.


Thank you,
Adriel

We have a Tom Tom that we got relatively cheap. It is ok, but did not come  
with lifetime maps, i would really recommend getting one with lifetime maps.

The Tom Tom works fairly well for basic stuff, but does some really odd  
things sometimes. For instance it will have us get off the interstate at an  
exit, only to replan and get us right back on the interstate. It has a  
fairly good data base for fuel, hotels, restaurants and stuff, but if you  
deviate from the planned route to use one of these "points of interest", it  
cancels the original route and you have to re-enter your destination once  
you leave the "point of interest".
