Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / May 2005which of the portables?
Hi I am questioning a not wired one if it picks up satellite signal as well as a wired system. Between the "Magellan RoadMate 700" and the "Garmin StreetPilot 2620" and the "TomTom GO". Which one is the best and the differencies please? Thanks alot! E. >Hi > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Thanks alot! > E. I have a Magellan Platinum portable and it has excellent reception just putting it on the seat next to me....so I would imagine that the Magellan RoadMate would work just fine. Customer service with Magellan sucks....but luckily I haven't needed any.

Garmin and Magellan portable units are MUCH better values, easier to update, and better supported than OEM systems.

I use my GPS's for on and off-road cycling, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and light aircraft, along with driving. Thanks, Barry > I am questioning a not wired one if it picks up satellite signal as > well as a wired system. The only difference is that the "wired" receivers have an external antenna, and the portable / mobile units have the antenna built in. Good reception with either is no problem as long as the antenna/unit has a clear view of the sky. > Between the "Magellan RoadMate 700" and the "Garmin StreetPilot 2620" > and the "TomTom GO".

Looks like that would be a great unit for in-car use. http://www.garmin.com/products/sp330/ >> I am questioning a not wired one if it picks up satellite signal as >> well as a wired system. > >The only difference is that the "wired" receivers have an external >antenna, and the portable / mobile units have the antenna built in. Lots of handhelds have external antenna jacks. Antennas are $30-50. Barry <<Lots of handhelds have external antenna jacks.

If so, try this: http://www.google.com/search?ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=ROADMATE+700+external+antenna |
