Windshield Repair Forum

Any of you using these?

Was looking last year but they were still over $600 for a decent model. Now I see them advertised for under $200.

Any suggestions as to what make and model works the best for mobile repair?

If I am doing a job the next day of so and I am not sure were I am going I will use YAHOO maps and map it out on the back of my dispatch... The customers think that is all right.

Just a thought.

Don,

Currently, I do the same as you (MapQuest) and it has worked fine so far but I believe having a GPS would be more efficient. Just don't like to buy something new without researching first. That's why I posted this thread.

Thanks for your input!

If you have a PDA you can have an all in one setup that will sync to your computer for all your files and be a GPS as well. You will need to purchacse the antenna and software. I believe I bought my antenna from simens.com and the software I use is I-NAV. This thing is worth its weight in gold(time saving) especially for those network referrals in the middle of nowhere.

Someone loaned me a Tom Tom earlier this year in Europe, I was amazed how accurate it was, I took a wrong turn (My Mistake) it recalculated and got me back on track, I was very impressed.

I would hate to be without my Navman system works superb. Saves time and matrimonial rows when out with the wife and she is trying to navigate.

After two months of study I've decided on the GARMIN GPSMAP 276C. It seems to have everthing I want in a GPS system. There are less expensive systems that do just as much. Go to Garmn.factoryoutletstore.com they have some good deals going on right now.

Sorry I gave the wrong web site. I just checked my files...it is semsons.com. I bought the globalsat bc-337 antenna. I am sure there is probably something better by now.

Get a Tom Tom....best value, very accurate, a really good lil GPS

Still searching for best deal, so many different models to chose from!

Is "text to speach" an option I really need or should pay extra for?

Thanks for your input.
