[QUOTE="JEEPr, post: 1846763, member: 11425"] I have had Garmin GPS' for quite some time now. I had an old 2610 and now I have the Garmin 1450 LMT. At first I didn't like the new one, but after a trip to San Diego then another to Montana I really started to enjoy it. I really love the lane assist as I call it. It shows you what lane you need to be in. That really helped going thru Denver during rush hour. I also use mapsource. It allows you to make your own routes. Basecamp is another application that lets you do the same thing. I like to make my own routes because there are so many great roads out there and I can set up a route to travel on them instead of sticking to the interstate. Making my own routes also gives me more control. I also have this eco route function. It lets me put in mileage, fuel used and price and it figures my gas mileage and how much I'm spending in fuel. It has this little leaf that turns different colors depending on how you're driving it stays green when you're easy and turns orange to red when you hammer the petal.. makes me laugh. I'm sure there is some stupid environmental crap behind it but I just use it to calculate my fuel consumption. I wouldn't go to low end on the Nuvi series. My wife has a base model one and it just tells you to turn, doesn't tell you what street you're to turn on. That's my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
