im sick of mapquest always getting me lost. since the price of gps systems has gone down a fair bit, im thinking of picking one up. any recommendations? im looking for something in the 200$ range. so far i think i like the mio digiwalker c220 the best.

big brother is always watching. your cellphone is a gps transmitter. and i hear odbIII will have a direct link to a satellite and mail you speeding tickets. true story.

I heard that too, but not about the speeding tickets. I know with most OBII systems they have a data log..my friend got in sh*t cuz he was doing 170km/h in his dads new charger. lol. his dad goes to the dealership to get a trouble code cleared, and the tech was like "uhh..Mr. Back, did you know that you were recorded doing 170KM/H??" He was like "uhh, Ive never been near that speed, i dont know how that could have been..you sure thats true. No one has had my car besides me except...." lol. But yea..OBDIII is gonna b making our jobs even more fun with the ecess wiring.

As for cheap GPS, Garmin is good, i was thinkin of rigging up my PSP to be a GPS system. I have a link saved on my old computer that has a link to a How-To, rig up part of a garmin GPS unit to your PSP so the PSP acts like a full garmin unit. Its like $125 or somethin for the unit you need + the soft wear and hack to convert the PSP's soft wear. But even regular Garmin units are cheap and easy to use. My sis's BF bought one when they were in europe to use. Never got lost, even got trapped in a snow storm and managed to find a way around the bad roads.
