first, thank you to dave and darren for responding to my previous newbie questions. i have my heart set on a

GPS-V but have decided to wait to see if garmin will eventually produce one with a larger screen (like the original streetpilot). my purchase will be mostly used by my wife and i would rather not have her strain to read the small display ont the GPS-V.   ( and i can't afford the streetpilot III). SO, does anyone have an inside sccop if garmin will produce a bigger screen for the gps-v or will i be waiting in vain?

thanks to all.

Although I would like to think so, I doubt it will happen because the market is starting to swing towards colour street routing products with voice navigation. If anything I would hope to see an updated Street Pilot III which is small and easier to handle and a better address lookup facility.

thanks dave, maybe i'll just bite the bullet and get the gps-v or just wait till the streetpilot comes down in price.

Have you looked on eBay for a 2nd user SPIII? The voice feature is well worth it as is the benefit of the larger display.

That's alright, in two days the wife would have forgotten about the home theater. Just don't tell her I said that!

that was a great review. i learned a few things that i did not know about the SPIII. forgive my ignorance dave, was the good news the review or that the SPIII will be comming down in price? Of course, now that i got a look at the Navman iCN 630, that looks like a pretty slick unit. still, it is pretty expensive. decisions, decisions.

Thanks Equium, unfortunately it was just the review. The SPIII has recently dropped in price, so I doubt it will drop any further.



We're currently reviewing the iCN630
