If a guy needs one and is in or passing through oregon, why would he not buy it there. We do not have sales tax, and I like looking at a price on anything and knowing that is what it is going to cost me at the register. I am so used to it I want to argue with them when I pay for something when I go out of state. lol

It would cost about $30 more in Washington. I pay that state enough already.

I use a garmin. I dont have the great big one, though, I dont see the sense in covering half my windshield. They should make the camera version in the small screen
Midnightrider909 Thanks this. -
Bought 740, using GPS with old school style

tscottme, Midnightrider909 and Linte_Loco Thank this. -
And Garmin’s customer service has been top notch for me.

I used a 730 for 3 years and loved it, WHEN IT WORKED.
Tried the Garmin for a while but didn't like the software compared to RM, even though it was built much better. I bought a 740 about a year ago and love it. It hasn't glitched or freaked out a single time. It's worked flawlessly. I keep the Garmin for a back up just in case, but haven't needed it yet. -
I use Google maps along with my Rand McNally
atlas. Never had had an issue.
I often will put it into satellite mode so I can exactly where entrances are.zmster2033 Thanks this. -
If you get a Rand McNally make sure to take it away from the sun when you’re parked on a hot day it messes with the gps had two of mine I had to send back because it fried in the Arizona heat forgot to take it off the windshield and since I drive nights it took a full blast of sun no ac on the front of the truck while I’m sleeping apu only does sleeper vents.

I wouldn’t buy either of those.

That's true for any electronics, especially cell phones. The batteries can overheat quickly. Some days I have to take my cell phone out of the holder while I'm driving because the sun gets it too hot.
