ok revive this thread...
anyone tell me which TOM TOM is this sucker? cant tell from the pix

That's a TomTom Go 300

It's like 3-4 years old now

Compared to the units of today its pretty shitty... The navigation display is similar to the current models but the rest of the interface is like living in the '90s again as well as the GPS receiver is as weak as shit cooperatively

I'd pay maybe $50? MAX for it

Btw the new Hp Ipaq 312 GPS is pretty darn good too!

I take my comment back!

I bought one on special at DSE for $199 and refunded it a couple days later.

What a piece of crap they call GPS.

It wanted me to do U-Turns in the middle of a highway, it wanted me to turn right at a no-right turn. Everything was shit about it. I originally thought the software was the problem, but i modified the windows on it and put TomTom on it but gave the same problem.

Avoid like the plague!

Oh i did however buy the Go720 about a couple months ago for $480, loving it. No crazy directions like the HP *spit*

Do yourselves a favour and buy one from Ebay. Mine has a 4.3" screen bluetooth, plays avi, mp3's, has AV in and all for $200. Plus you can hack it as said above and put any software you want onto it! ;o)

I have hard wired it behind the cigarette socket and mounted it in the centre console, looks the nuts!

I got an I-mate Jamin put tomtom and iGo both work perfectly.
External GPS reciever from ebay for $35.

just wondering, are there any GPS's out there that have live traffic updates displayed aswell?
and if there are, how much would it be around? cos i always hate getting stuck in traffic and would love if my GPS would route me to another route/show me a less congested alternate.
