Best GPS Devices for 400

i've had my 400t for a couple of weeks now and have had it on several day hikes.

i recently sold it and bought the 400t.

i have the garmin colorado 400i, basically the same unit with a different map set.

the only beef i have is that the 400t with topo map which shows the city streets will not give you turn by turn directions unless you purchase the city navigatior map also which at this price point

in a town of 400 people it still told me every street accurately.

having seen the nuvi in action on a 500+ mile trip with a friend this summer, i wanted to get one but my friend's unit was selling in the low $400's, which was above my price point.

what this means in laymen's terms is that instead of saying "turn right in 400 yards", it says "turn right on wendy lane in 400 yards", or "arriving at best buy on right" as opposed to "arriving at

it's so much safer to hear "turn left on main st." than to hear "turn left in 400 yards." it keeps you focused on looking for street signs, which keeps your eyes on the road more than trying to

after 4000 miles, we are still discovering new features.

for example, a destination i know to be 400 miles away shows up as 320 miles total trip (yes, it's for the exact same route) so i think the unit uses the faulty overall distance here to calculate the

i saved probably $3-400 over other dealers and more compared to what it was, at last years price.

the nuvi started to guide me in some odd directions that at first i though "oh god, what have i bought?" what it did was brought me up an exit ramp and back down onto the expressway but about 400

so i'm thinking...cool, got a free update (not really free after paying close to $400).

i ran the nuvi side by side against the navigator built into our new mercedes c300 on a 400-mile trip.

yet you only pay 400 for the unit on amazon.

so, they break it and then provide terrible support and offer to send their customers, many of whom paid well over $400.00 for their device, a used replacement .
