I haven't opened the box yet as I'm thinking of getting a more expensive one. What one do you folks who are using them recommend. Someone said to stick with a TomTom whatever I buy. Yes? Also, can you get along without the "text to speech" option for an extra $50-$100?

I have a Garmin 330,which they don't make anymore.does not say the street names.
So noe I got a Navigon 2100,says street names now.It cost 199.99
then on sale at $179.99.
I saw it on Black Fri. for $89.99,but I had mine for 4 months.I love it.Garmin it a better brand.You can join a forum and get free stuff,like POI,and Red light cameras,and speed cameras.My Navigon has a Forum but only speed cameras which we do not have here in the bay area,plus to join this forum for Navigon it's a one time life time fee,Garmin all Free.
The Navigon screen for my model is just a bit smaller than my Garmin,but Navigon says street names out loud,loud and clear,it never screwed up yet on directions,I don't look at the screen.Safer driving using a GPS.I used a map,and map quest,we won't go there,long story.
I use my Navigon for work 100% of the time,Road calls in the field,and travel,Safer to use,saves a lot of time to get some where,believe me.
Some guys at work called me Mr.GPS man.
Now the Co.issued the foremans with GPS's
I always bought my own because it goes home with me,and when I retire I hope.
Good luck.Any other question email me.
