The prices have come down, new features are being added, the traffic updates, etc. sooner or later we're gonna get one, I think. We might even get a cell phone, too. |

If you have the GXM-30 (XM receiver) you can also add a traffic subscription for about $5/mo.

Historical traffic is a term that describes a database of average speeds on roads at different times. This can be used to avoid roads that are especially slow during typical rush hour times (for example).

I did a lot of research before buying a GPS for my bike, and I found the Nuvi 550 met my needs the best for the cheapest price (about $210 on ebay). It was the cheapest as far as models that you can load custom routes from your computer or download recommended routes from websites. It is water resistant. It is rated at 8 hours per charge (if you don't have a power connection). It also has Topographical maps so it can be used walking or hiking as well. It doesn't have some of the features that some of the higher priced ones such as bluetooth for the voice directions, but for me I have been very happy with it. It's mostly which GPS meets what you want it to do.
