why bother with tomtom and garmin when you can buy a amigo gps from newelectronx? good price, good customer service, and free shipping. free maps - can beat that lol

when it comes to gps navigation systems, i dont bother with garmin or tom tom any more. i just buy straight from newelectronx and get the amigo version. it is definitely the best gps i have found with free maps and fast free shipping. you cant beat that. you really cant

Garmin has only good maps and gps system, they don`t uotodate that whereas tom tom has better graphics and it is uptodate. Overall tom tom is better and affordable as well.

the newelectronx with amigo on it seems to be the one that women prefer more, probably because it is easy to use and simple to navigate. my grandmother loves hers. she always says it is just as easy as using aol. haha

well from experience i can honestly say that my newelectronx gps outperforms my $350 garmin gps . it has true text o speech. it actually tell you the streets clearly and tells you the side of the street your location is on. it is very accurate and fast. and yes, you are right the newelectronx gps has a 5 inch screen. most other gps`s have 4.3 inch screen and if you want a 5 inch screen then you have to pay a fortune for it. if you want to buy a garmin gps then mine is up for sell. LOL

the brand does not matter when it comes to products like this. all gps are essentially the same with the exception to cheap ones sold at walmart. the important thing to look for is the features. tomtom and garmin have cool features which can also be found in other high end gps models. for instance my newelectronx purchased gps can do everything the tom tom or garmin can do if not better and it cost a fraction of the retail price that garmin and tomtom is listed at. in fact it does a little more for the price i paid for it. so if you are looking to buy a gps then read this guide before you buy. it sure helped me out allot: http://www.newelectronx.com/help.php?faq_id=247&category_id=11&pa-rent_id=11
