Need 2 buy a new GPS ( mainly road ) recomendations feedback on theres wanted

[NissanGQ4.2]

Well my old trusty Garmin GPS I think has finally gone to GPS heaven, so need to buy another one, main use would be for road navigation as anyone that knows me I get lost easily ( even with a GPS!!! ) *L* Having something that does off road tracks would be a bonus......

So what can people recommend????

I'm sure there was a GPS thread started not long ago but can't find it so if someone can point me to that thread it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Toddie

I don't have a smart phone, I have a Nokia N8 and its a piece of shit when it comes to apps. Can't justify the cost of buying a new phone at the moment as much as I would like a new phone :(

yeh think I might stick with a dedicated gps like garmin, its only for the crappadore anyway

well if thats the case, just get a cheap 2nd hand navman MY50 or whatever they are in that range, some have 4wd maps on them but cants say how good they are..... do the job on road though

I could sell you my old Hema HN6 but that would team I don't have a decent backup for the HN7..

Though I might have buried somewhere a Garmin Nuvi 3590, if you insist in hugging to that brand. Was not impressed with it vs the HN units.

The gps on the Digioptions in dash is impossible to see during daylight so we went ahead and bought a Garmin nüvi® 65LMT when we went away last August. It works very well, has third party off road maps options for purchase and free updates. I'd buy one again, plus goes back to my redundancy core, although not really necessary when you know where the ground is ;).

Buy a cheap iPhone 4 or 5 off someone upgrading to a 6, they are all over Facebook mate and eBay and $200 will own one. Then use Google Maps for Navigating around everywhere but the Bush. Rate it highly.

you may as well just slit your wrists hhahahahahahaha

If you can wait 5 months Todd, you can have my S4 lol

I'm surprised my 10 plus year old Navman is still going strong, I can no longer get map updates for it. And all the new fwys are asking my to do a Uturn on the streets beside the new roads. It's funny but I still know where I'm going.
I like to see what's ahead rather than where I'm going but it still helps.

Except when we went to Sydney.
Nearly went flying out the window.

But I like it and kept it, easy to use, easy to navigate. Would probably buy another Navman.

Over short distances the earth is flat.

I love my old garmin it was fast to type good display and showed lots of side streets my new navman is slow... You have to wait 2 seconds before the next can be pressed and the detail is poor it has Hema offroad maps and all sorts of other crap not needed for the black top, unless I bought a lemon I'll be getting a garmin next time

yeah mate, thinking about going for a Note 4 so I can kill 2 birds so to speak...... my tablet is getting a bit long in the tooth, so that needs updating as well. Reckon if I get a note 4, should hopefully be big enough so I can do away with the need of a tablet too.
