what gps

Currently, I own the Garmin Street Pilot 550. Prior to this one I used the 330.
Both are very good, although the 550 is better equipped with features and
performs better.
A factor one has to consider is where one travels. Since I drive to Canada and Mexico often, I wanted to make sure I had a GPS that had the maps for my destinations. Also, the more the channels the better, since the satellites orbiting in space are stationary and the earth is rotating, fewer channels means less likely of good reception in case some satellites are not available to send signals due to obstructions-buildings, forestry, mountains, clouds etc.

So where do you guys have yours mounted? I am a bit out of space as my Sirius Radio is in the little cubbie on top of the dash, I am thinking of getting the beanbag dash mount or the vent clip, any suggestions?

For those you who recently bought the Garmin 660. make sure you register it online and get all the updates. I just updated the firmware and new Bluetooth support. It use to drop the connection all the time. New BT firmware fixed that. Also you should be eligible for the updated 2009 US map that just went up. Take about 2-3hrs to download so set some time aside. Gotta love all the software support Garmin provides.

when updating the firmware using the webupdater app make sure you scroll down before you click update. You will see a list of "additional updates" that are not part of the firmware. The bluetooth update is one of them.
