Default Garmin StreetPilot 7500

I found this today. This fugger retails for nearly $1600, I bought mine almost a year ago for $1050.00. This is an unreal deal @ $677.98. I have this on the dash of my Si. I can take pics if interested. The only negative things about this is you have to buy a seperate unit for XM/NAV traffic, the power wire running from the dash to you consold, and the mount supplied is meant for a RV or Semi dash. I bought one of RAM mount suction cup units.

I can get pics up in a few days of my set up if interested.

I'd never pay $700 for a navi that wasn't in-dash. I had a 7 in navi at one point (not in dash) and it's just a PITA. Always have to take it down and hide it, it's too big to really mount anywhere and not look awkward.. not a fan.

How's the navi on that? (The D3). They're having a $200 off special right now, but I've heard the accuracy is pretty suspect. Lots of people saying it's anywhere from 1/4-1/2 mile off.

Well, honestly it was purchased for my truck driving job not my car. And unless the in dash system uses TomTom or Garmin interface it's junk. This is the reason I opted out of the factory GPS unit. Alpine and Pioneer all have nice hardware but the software isn't that great if compared to TomTom or Garmin.

Company TomTom. Hoping to steal/hide it from them when i quit/get fired.

I can deal with it on my lap. I just fasten my seatbelt over the cord so it stays put no matter what. No mounts for me, not in to that whole broken window deal.
