"Howdy" from Fort Worth

texican · 06-26-2008, 10:23 AM

New member "howdy" from Fort Worth. I'm a magellen roadmate 2200T owner (18 months) with one disappointment after another until it cost more to fix than its worth. I'm now shopping for a new GPS from different manufacturer. I,m looking for a unit with multiple stop routing. I would like a unit which gives optimum routing in a strange town where I have multiple clients and no idea where they are located. I would like to avoid criss crossing back and forth from one side of town to the other repeatedly. I'm also looking for a GPS that is servicable when the internal battery dies without charges that cost as much as a new unit.
Any suggestions?

Howdy and welcome, texican!

My nüvi 750 qualifies on the optimized multiple stop routing, but fails on the easily replaced battery.

Others will chime in soon.

Welcome to the site texican

There aren't many decent units out there that offer both features you describe unfortunately. I'm actually drawing a blank as to even one of them that has both at this moment, sorry about that.

I've had a couple Nuvi's that I've had good luck with the batteries on though...FWIW.
