Widescreen GPS Deals
The deals on Amazon deserved a quick update tonight. Not only can you get the Nuvi 660 for the mid-$300's, but you can get the Magellan 4050 for $299. Stack 'em high and price 'em cheap.
Garmin Nuvi 660 - One of my favorite units for a long time, the Nuvi 660 comes with the TMC traffic receiver (3-month subscription included) built right into the power cable, a first, and now over a year later starting to become the standard on other models. Text-to-speech and maps of North America combine with Garmin's rock solid interface to make for a pretty good deal. - $369 at Amazon - For More Information - see My Full Review Garmin Nuvi 660
Magellan 4050 - I had to post this one, at $299, it looks like a pretty feature packed unit for the price. Widescreen, with Maps of North America, and TMC traffic capable - 3 month trial included, but you need the optional TMC cradle. The big feature that Magellan likes to talk up, is the voice command capability. You can't do everything with it, but voice commands can definitely cut down on the distractions. I will say that I used the Magellan Maestro 3140, which has a similar interface, and thought it could use some development but overall gave good directions. See My Full Review of Magellan Maestro 3140 for more information.
