I’ve narrowed my search between the Garmin nüvi 265W/265WT 4.3-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Integrated Traffic Receiver and Magellan RoadMate 1470 4.7-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator.  Both have free traffic*, Text to Speech,  Large Widescreens .   The Magellan had a better tactile response for its touch screen, better price and a slightly larger screen.    The Garmin has Bluetooth, Traffic and better customer support.   Ugh! GPSMagazine.com has the Garmin slightly higher 80% vs 78% on its buyers guide so I am thinking that should be a better choice.

The Garmin 265WT on Amazon

The Magellan 1470 on Amazon

* The Magellan requires an Additional Traffic Receiver.

I used Shopobot.com to help me find a good price for my latest purchase: The Canon 40D.    I love the sexy graphs.    The other thing that’s awesome is that I created an email price alert that told me when to buy it based on my price point.

There is an excellent service I’ve been using for live events (concerts, theater, performances) in following cities:

* Los Angeles
* San Francisco
* Chicago
* D.C. Metro
* New York
* Boston
* San Diego
* Las Vegas
