Let’s not forget Radio Shack for Black Friday. They have some pretty good deals on GPS navigation systems.
Magellan Maestro 4040 for $300:
For $499.99 (list), the Maestro 4040 offers a surprisingly large number of features. Most important is Magellan’s SayWhere text-to-speech engine, which enables the device to pronounce street names and exit ramps. Next, you get expanded map data. The 4040 includes maps for all 50 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Those of you with Bluetooth-enabled phones will appreciate the built-in speakerphone function (more on that later). You also get a larger POI (Points of Interest) database with millions of business and service listings. The 4040 is upgradable to provide live traffic info, if you purchase the optional TrafficKit and a subscription to traffic-data services. The 4040 snaps into the TrafficKit cradle, which has an integrated FM-TMC receiver. No additional wires or antennas are required. Finally, you can enable the Maestro 4040 to accept voice commands, for virtually hands-free operation.
Navigon 2100 for $150:
NAVIGON 2100 is built with the same design DNA of NAVIGON’s award-winning 7100 and 5100 devices — and offers features that aren’t available on systems at twice the price.
- easy-to-read 3.5″ screen
- 3D Reality View
- Text-to-Speech
- Intuitive touch-screen menus and stunning 2D and 3D maps
Maestro 3100 for $130:
Magellan Maestro 3100 offers simple GPS navigation that’s affordable. The most intuitive graphical 3.5″ touch-screen interface available makes navigation easy. Enter virtually any destination and get turn-by-turn voice guidance to locations all over the contiguous United States. Smart touch-icons and Magellan’s QuickSpell function enable error-free spelling, minimizing steps, so you get a customized route to your destination with just a few touches of the screen. Preprogrammed points of interest make it easy to find restaurants, gas stations, ATM and more.
Choose the 2D or 3D view and see your location, route, direction, next turn, destination and more. SmartDetour will help you find your way out of traffic jams or stopped freeway traffic.
Mio C320 for $150:
Mio C320 is a really thin, flat system that feature a 4.3″ wide screen. It is preloaded with maps of 22 Western European countries (by TeleAtlas) thanks to the 1GB internal memory. Whatever’s left from this memory can be used for the storage of MP3 files which can be played with the built-in MP3 player.
The C320 supports RDS/TMC live traffic information, but this feature is optional. Other features include the ability to use the 4.3″ screen in split mode to display various information about your journey. Mio C320 also does safety camera warnings. You’ll get free updates for one year.
TomTom ONE 3rd Ed. for $140:
This entry-level GPS device is similar to the TomTom One but adds the Map Share technology and “Help Me” safety feature. Map Share allows you to make adjustments to your maps and then share the information with other drivers. You can make the changes right on your device, save them, and then upload and share them with other users via the TomTom HOME desktop companion. Help Me safety function tells you where you can find the nearest police station, hospital, or car service center, based on your current location. As a basic system, you don’t get text-to-speech functionality, but you do get the standard text- and voice-guided turn-by-turn directions as well as a 3.5-inch touch screen.
