Anyone With A TomTom?

Do any of you have a TomTom 300 or 700? Or any other kind of portable nav. (garmin,magellan,cobra etc.) I am looking for a good navigation but I dont want to spend the $$$ on a in dash. Also I want it to be portable so I can take it in my 325ci when needed. If anyone has one can you also take some pics of your set up? Also Mods if this needs to be moved feel free to do so. Thanks in advance

I have a Tom Tom One and it works a treat. The only problem is that the map for rural Australia sometimes has the street listed under a different suburb so you have to enter alternative adjacent suburb names to find the right street.

I have a Garmin StreetPilot 2610 and I love it. Its a couple of years old, and you maybe able to get a good deal on one somewhere on the web.

No pics, but the SP2610 comes with a beanbag mount that I put right on the dash over top the vents. Its very steady and has never fallen or moved.

Garmil Nuvo 350, top rated unit and about a a third as thick as the TomTom unit. 4 hour battery life and will speak the street names rather than just give you distances. They also have a bluetooth version.
A+ unit

Thanks Persona the Garmin 350 is a little small for my taste but I like how you have it mounted, I wonder if the tomtom can fit in that area?

Funny, it's the small size that I like. It's super portable and even slips in my pocket when I get out of the car. That was a key feature for me for when I travel I don't have a big lump to carry around.

The mount should work but it's a little clunkier.
