Other than taking out the coworker's name, here's the email I sent her. ____________[Name Removed],Here's a quick summary I wrote about some popular Garmin GPS units that lists the features and prices of each (from Amazon, with links) including free shipping.Four out of the five are under $300, the fifth I included simply because it is the one I bought.I hope this isn't too convoluted. They make a whole lot of models, I think, to fill up every possible nook and cranny under the price curve.[Pricing Current as of today]_______________$202.38Model 260 - Most basic Garmin automobile GPS system with Street Name Navigation. GPS systems that don't say the street names are cheaper, but in my opinion they are much less valuable in actual practice. My workplace has one that doesn't say street names and it is much harder to use when driving.http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000UU7ZPS/tcom-20_______________$229.99Model 360 - Very similar to the 260, but with the addition of Bluetooth, so you can use it as a speaker phone with your cellphone. Also, it is a more recently refreshed design so it looks a bit more modern than the 260. Can display photos, and can play .mp3 through headphones or the speaker.http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000EXS1BS/tcom-20________________$282.73Model 370 - Least expensive model that includes everything you need for real time traffic. Basically an upgraded 360, it has the same physical case as the 360, includes bluetooth like the 360, but adds a traffic receiver. As a bonus, the model 370 comes not only with maps of the USA and Canada, it also includes maps of Europe. Can display photos, and can play .mp3 through headphones or the speaker.http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000MF7L5A/tcom-20_________________$299.99Model 660 - WideScreen. In has bluetooth & includes a traffic receiver. The larger screen makes it easier to see and easier to use. The 660 comes with maps of the USA & Canada. Can display photos, and can play .mp3 files. Additionally it has a built in FM transmitter so it can play directions and/or .mp3 files through your car's radio.http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000H49LXQ/tcom-20_________________$326.76Model 670 (The one I bought) Exactly like the 660 but also has maps for Europe.http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000MF674G/tcom-20________________I didn't include any TomToms because she was only interested in units in the two hundred dollar range. I don't think the cheap TomToms are as good as the lower priced Garmins so the TomToms didn't make the list. # posted by The Comedian @ 11:59 AM 0 comments Thursday, August 07, 2008   Picture I took today (with my cellphone, sorry it is such a crappy shot) of a funny vanity plate.I wonder how this one made it by the censors? # posted by The Comedian @ 4:22 PM 1 comments Friday, July 18, 2008   The Trailer for the Watchmen movie is up now. # posted by The Comedian @ 10:22 AM 0 comments Thursday, July 10, 2008   And one for the other side.I'm an Obama Nut!I'm an Obama Nut! shirt # posted by The Comedian @ 10:20 PM 0 comments Tuesday, June 17, 2008   "These ten words have been used by copyright holders before.""These ten words have been used by the AP before."Am I in trouble too? # posted by The Comedian @ 3:11 PM 0 comments Friday, May 30, 2008   Funky Metal Man Muffler SignI spotted this yesterday in Waterbury, CT. # posted by The Comedian @ 1:37 PM 0 comments Thursday, May 22, 2008   This morning I saw a (single parent) family of Canada Geese go walking by in the supermarket parking lot.

Given that, if there is no town ordinance permitting (or prohibiting) me to eat in my car, then surely I am free to do so. # posted by The Comedian @ 11:14 AM 0 comments Wednesday, March 12, 2008   My Client #9 shirts ran as the lead illustration on a Reuters syndicated article about Spitzer shirts hitting the web so quickly after the scandal broke.Article.For posterity I've saved the following screenshots, which can be enlarged if you click them. # posted by The Comedian @ 9:14 AM 0 comments Tuesday, March 11, 2008   Based on a suggestion from my father, Elliot Spitzer memorial "Client #9" shirts & mugs.
