For the last year or so I have been using my motorola Q as a GPS navigation system with the program Copilot Live Q Edition by ALK. It has worked tremendously but now the receiver appears to be dead. I've decided to replace it with a stand alone GPS so I can still use my phone while traveling.
I drive a lot, and I have a terrible sense of direction, so I really need a good GPS that will get me where I need to go.
Looking at the hundreds of mobile GPS choices, I am quite confused. What the hell is the difference between the $100 one and the $500 one? Just MP3 capability?
The absolute most I'm willing to spend on a GPS is $200, but I'd much rather spend about $100. Can I get a GPS that will actually get me where I'm going for that price or should I just bite the bullet and spend more money?
Whichever GPS I get will be hardwired into my car.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the things that matter to me most are the speed of satellite lock (VERY important), the number of POI on the maps, and the overall flexibility/comprehensiveness of the maps. Anything else is not important.
Thanks in advance for the help.
