Default Re: Garmin nuvi vs Street Pilot

The Nuvi 650 is the way to go at that price! It gives you directions by street name...there is never a need to look at the unit, just listen to the directions. It also displays the exit numbers and street names well in advance, if you are a visual type. My 650 rerouted me around a HUGE traffic backup around Wash. D.C. last week. Being familiar with the area, I knew that the garmint was sending me the wrong way, but I followed the advice and was richly rewarded! Seeing the backup in the opposite direction for all those miles reminded me why I leave this thing active even when I know where I am going!!!
