Re: Need help picking out a new Garmin.

I had a Garmin eMap that I LOVED, especially the trip computer part.
I have lost it and was considering getting a new Garmin GPS.

The selection is bewildering at best now. :-(

I am pretty sure I will go with one of the nuvi models but which one?
I want something that has the features that the eMap had.
I am no so much worried about mp3 playback and using it at a bluetooth
handsfree device either.
I just want a good replacement for my eMap.

Can anyone in the group help me with a decision?

Tell us what the features you want are, like multiple destination routing, track recording, being able to do planning on a PC and upload routes and waypoints, etc.

Some of the newer models do not have all the same navigation features that were on the older ones. They are prettier, play music, and take phone calls though. :>)
