hi ya'll just got my scion.. 3 days ago.. i was wondering what's a good gps system for it? i was thinking of just getting a pharos gps for my dell axim.. so i wont have to spend so much on it.

 

welcome to the forum and congrats on your new ride.............

 

thanks..

 

nice ride...the only thing it's missing is a drop

 

I agree.

Oh yah, welcome! One more thing, what rims are those?

 

enkei rims with falken tires

 

Welcome and nice xA and wheels.

How much money are you looking to spend on a GPS system? I'm guessing your looking for a mobile GPS unit, rather than something build into the headunit?

 

Welcome!Nice xA and wheels.

 

hello and welcome!

ASL? lol

 

I just picked up my Scion on Thursday myself. I was driving around with a friend and photographer from a local Delaware paper when GPS came up. Personally, if you've got an Axim, I'd go with something that would work with that. That way, you're not tied into your car all the time.

I have a Treo650 and will be looking at getting something that works with that.

Nice color, by the way. Same as mine. *winks*

 

I use this:



It doesn't have a big color screen, but it is accurate and detailed, has all the important features and you can upload new maps to it. It only cost me $99 on sale (normally $150 I think)

The big advantage for me and the reason I didn't get one for my HP iPaq is that this one is shock resistant, heat resistant and waterproof. I can take it hiking and camping and not worry about it. It runs forever on 2 AA batteries.

The PDA based one will give you a nice color display though, which is nice as long as you don't mind connecting/disconnecting the GPS from your PDA when you want to use the PDA for other things and you don't plan on using it for a canoe trip or something, like I would. Something to think about though.

 

im looking to spend about ~200 for a gps.. and yeah i want it mobile.. i was wondering if pharos gps for my dell axim would work.. i want it mobile and still have my pda with me. i'll be traveling alot anyway for my work. anyway.. gps is the last accessory im gonna put in my car... (not actually a biggie on modding my car.. except for the rims )

 

Nice ride. I like your wheels. Who and what size?

I use a Garmin iQue 3600 for my gps travels and it's also a PDA. Just click on your address book, locate the address then route to. You can also sync the addresses from your puter.

I use a ram mount with a suction cup from ram-mount.com in the my xA. I'll get some pics to you later. Doing the Easter thing...

 

garmin ique is expensive hehe.. i can only shell out ~200.. i'll prolly just get a pharos gps for my dell axim.. btw, rims are 17" alloy enkei rims

 

I'm considering an xA. Do the front seats in an xA recline all the way so that you can sit in the back seat with your legs stretched out over the front seats? They do in a tC. This question might be out of place but I didn't want to start a whole new topic for this one question.

 

nope...but the front seats recline enough that ur pretty much laying down...very comfortable for me

 

Good question. I know they do in the xB...and I would think so in the xA, although, you would have to pull the seat forward, then recline.

I'll have to find out!

 

Welcome to SL. Looking good man, but look for a drop asap.
