I have the TomTom 310 at home and a 510 at work. I got Dad a Garmin for Christmas 2 years ago. In general, I like TomTom but the Garmin had better places of interest (gas stations, resteraunts etc) & that was better for Dad.

Map upgrades on TomTom are a pain in the butt. I haven't tried it on any other brands so I can't say if they are any better or worse.

You have the right approach though. Find one with the features you want at the price you want to pay. Use it & enjoy. Don't second guess your decision.

Glad you are done with Apple. The I-pod as a device is ok, but I-Tunes is BAD. I have a creative Zen Vision 30 GB and I have been very happy with it. Drag and drop MP3s and you are on your way.

My PC friends love the Data DVD's of all of my music.

What do you mean by "Data DVD's of all of my music"? When I am talking about drag and drop, I mean Windows Explorer style drag and drop. I don't have to mess with I-tunes or playlists or anything. Not sure what you mean.

Most people don't have a clue, how powerful iTunes is.
If you choose Data disc for burning, you can make a playlist of your entire music library, and burn it.
It takes less time than an audio disc to burn (aprox 10min per DVD) Faster than you can see songs blink in the play window.
It will include all info and artwork too.
When put in another user's computer, (even PC's) it's like they were on their music libraries.
Data DVD or CD's will not play in your car or home player.
But once added to iTunes, can be burned to CD or Mp3 disc's for standard players.

I plug in my Nano, iTunes come to top and looks for changes to my selected playlists and syncs them automatically.
If I drag a song to a "selected playlist" it will sync that song to that playlist.
You can have as many songs on a playlist that you want.
You can have as many playlist that you want.
Songs can be on as many playlists that you want, still only taking up space once.

I've accumulated songs from many sources, and iTunes likes them all.


I have a 8g nano2g, and I have more song and playlists than I can imagine, it also keeps all my contacts info.

I have no interest in watching a movie on anything less than a 8" screen. even on a plane. Laptop?

Grabbing me the TomTom today. Taxes done and Uncle Scam only hated on me a little bit, so I can get me a Tax celebration gift and spend to try to give the economy a boost.

All advice about the TomTom is well appreciated. Thanks.

Toyed around with the Zune some more over the weekend. Pretty cool how well it works with XBox Live. A buddy of mine also was talking to me about some hacks for it that sound pretty sick, but I am hardly game for that. In all, I am very pleased and I am still learning things about it by the day.
