Garmin finally lost a GPS comparo - C&D seemed to like a Magellan model better (though they did complement the Garmin). But then CR comes out with yet another comparo and Garmin once again takes the top spot, with the new model that accepts voice commands. |

Pioneer's New AVIC-Z110BT Nav Flagship: A Desktop in Your Dash? (Edmunds Daily) "Though loaded to the gills with the latest in-car technology, the coolest and most consumer friendly aspect of the new Pioneer AVIC-Z110 navigation receiver is no doubt its customizable "Home" page."

What a POC Toyota puts in their vehicles. Plus it never learns the right route. Totally useless NAV. I will stick with AAA maps when we take our cross country trip this fall.

My wife has a 2006 Highlander Limited with factory nav system. Two years ago, she swiped my Garmin 660. The factory system hasn't been used since she got the Garmin. The Garmin has the 2008 maps and I'm debating a map update or maybe buy a new Garmin with the 2010 maps.

Replying to: gagrice (Aug 14, 2009 8:25 pm) When I considered an OE Toyota Navi for my Sienna that's what people recommended. Still, Costco has my Garmin Nuvi 260w for just $150 now....the 265wt for $220, and that's with traffic info.

I think that most of of those bargain basement Gamins will have the 2009 maps installed. I know that Amazon says that "MOST" of their Garmin units have the 2010 maps. The $119 map update deal sounds good, but I wonder what the life expectancy is for my 660 with its non-replaceable battery,
