Ferrari Mailing List: Re: GPS for 308

[Charles Perry (charles]

I would make sure you buy one from a place that will take returns, and
then go use it IN the 308 before your trip.

I bought a little Muv unit from Staples for a trip where I wanted one in
the 355. I was very pleased with the ease of use, features, accuracy and
display, but the voice commands were worthless because even at maximum
volume I could barely hear it over the 355's motor, road and wind noise
- and that was with the top up.

With the top down, voice commands may as well have not existed and the
screen could be quite difficult to see in direct sunlight.

So rather than worry about particular brand or features, I would just
use a couple of models in the car if possible and see if the important
things work out - can I hear it, and can I see it?

Any recommendations for a voice type GPS for my 308 with a display I
wouldn't have to put reading  glasses on to use.
I'm planning  a trip through the Bay Area and could use one to clue me
through the lane changes.  I don't know which features are valuable and
which are useless.
