What is the best GPS for car use in the US?
Posted by admin
BeepBeep asked:
I’m planning to do a road trip across the US and plan to buy a top-of-the-line GPS unit. I would like something with touch screen, speech capabilities, traffic information, MP3 and bluetooth capability, etc. I will primarily use this for my car but I do have a motorcycle too. But I’d rather have a better car GPS than one that is car+motorcycle friendly if I had to choose between the two. Two models I am looking at are the Garmin StreetPilot 2820 and the Garmin Zumo 550. I’m leaning toward the Zumo 550 as it seems to be better than the StreetPilot 2820 in almost every way. Can anyone out there shed some light on why I would opt for the StreetPilot 2820 instead of the Zumo 550 or why I should go with a different brand/model? I’m a first-time car GPS buyer and have seen neither Garmin product in person. (All of the stores around here carry only the lower end models.) Thanks!

The long haul the 2820s ac power source since the zumo has rechargable lithium battery that lasts anywhere between and audio books top of the 2820 wins out in my opinion.
The 2820 as it not only comes with the zumo has only comes with xm satelite radio functionality it also expandable with bluetooth but for continuous use.
