Well, I can recommend the 701, only a few small problems as posted in other threads. You also have the added bonus of not having a BT GPS flying around the dashboard (if you drive like I do). Better if you're on foot around a city too.
Battery life not brilliant with everything running, but that's to be expected. I'm sure a bigger battery will soon become available. I would also like room to stash a wifi sdio in the back cover somewhere but that's just being picky. |

i'm just waiting to see if brodit will make a car mount for the 701 then i will probably go out and buy 1 don't really like suction type as they keep falling off
also how does it operate in high built up areas and trees is it any worse than the wired type _________________ TomTom 5001 |

It's a Sirf III gps, so is really good in city etc. You can easily get a fix, even indoors if you are in view of a window. As for the mount, I use an Akron vent mount which does the job just fine. |

I just tye wrapped the holder that comes with it to an air vent. It works for me and just looks like a mobile phone holder to any passers bye. |

The carry case that came with it has a slot inside to take an SD card _________________ Brian.

Yep, but the carry case is too bulky for me so I'll just stick the sdio in my wallet instead and forget about it until I need it. |
