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. _________________ Darren Griffin |

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 |
