GPS

Yes... Buy me the 720 and I'll give him my 510. Seriously though, I LOVE my 510 and from what I've seen the 720 blows the 510 away.

 

the 720 is decent...just make sure he knows how to trip plan and doesn't relly on it 100%

 

Your a good dad!

 

This is the one I am planning to get also so any info on it is greatly appreciated.

 

we've got the 720 when it 1st came out (discount buy back for a 710)...... we love it.... if you have wifi in the truck you get LIVE weather (can over lay on the map, rain, wind, temp....ect), fuel price, live traffic (pay option), free lifetime map upgrade

 

Garmin gives you free lifetime maps & traffic.

Just sayin.

Have better luck with Google live traffic on the phone.


You sound like a smart dad.

Gift complete for son

Tax deduction for you

Sure you don't run a mega company xD???

 

I like the traffic (built in FM) that Garmins provide. And yes, in many areas there is no FM traffic data signal available and Google traffic (on the phone) is then used for reference when it's prudent. With the Garmins, in metro areas, traffic is automatic and they do a good job of giving you a heads up about traffic issues ahead in time to deviate, telling you where the issue is and about how long you can expect to be delayed, and the level of data accuracy is pretty impressive for the most part.
