The difference is it has the ability to use an external antenna. |

3450 is using the SIRF Star 2e/LP (Low Power) chipset, which means more standalone battery time/use. |

I forgot to mention, 3450 has also an external antenna input. |

OK... I think I understand that the 3450 has a longer battery life and accepts an external antenna. The extra battery life is great for roaming around on a bicycle or hiking.. I guess. But the ability to add an antenna begs the question... Does the Navman GPS 3450 or 3420 have issues working without the external antena?
thanks. |

I bought a Navman once. It was absolute pants. I now have a Co-Pilot with an external antenna and it's top notch.
Possibly the Navman with external antenna will also be good but the signal without IMO it's not worth buying.
BTW Dave, I know I'm on the wrong topic, but any news on Co-Pilot V4 |
