E 71 vs E72: Is the GPS in the E72 substantially better than the E71 that it justifies the cost differential.

Hi Deborah, with the latest firmwares upgrades the phone is great, you can install the podcastings and internet radio. the OS now it's stable, also the email client from the e72 it's a lot better than the one of the e71

I have the E4, and a friend who wanted one like mine ended up with the E5 as it was only $6 more. All the features are the same. They are both working great months (mine 7, his 3 or 4) later. Unfortunately the only device we have in common is the phone, and his laptop is even a smaller screen, so we really can't tell if the extra 2000 makes much difference.

I drive truck, but still use an auto GPS. I was considering upgrading to a truck model before Christmas, but the prices for them wasn't discounted much. I did do a bunch of research, though. From everything I read, it sounds like none of the models are perfect, and some are a waste of money. The one that seems to have the least complaints, and a decent amount of features, was the Garman 465T.

Hello,My experience with the GPSMAP 62 was not very good. The unit froze up several times during use and each time I had to restart the unit. Coworkers of mine use the GPSMAP 60 and really like it and I have heard the GPSMAP 64 is a good model. I recently purchased a Garmin Etrex 30 and I love it. I paid $200 and it's worth every penny. The new GLONASS technology in the etrex 30 is outstanding, I can be in the thickest timber canopy and still have >20' accuracy. I hope this helps.

The difference that I see is that the 722G has a backup battery that you can put in the device, ie. - case there's a power loss in the house. Otherwise, they are virtually the same device.

I can see no difference in the two models. Don't know what the E designation means.

I'm trying to decide & in comparing both models, I DO see more than a Bluetooth difference, if it matters to anyone: The 1490LMT has the lane assist function, but takes it one step further, in that it will show a real view of the lane you need to be in AND it shows all the highway signs that you will see up ahead, with the signs where you need to go Highlighted, and the signs you Don't want, dimmed I do NOT want Bluetooth, but just having gotten lost in Queens NY yesterday, both upon going in AND heading out, this particular feature would have helped greatly, as I just couldn't find my way onto the Triboro Bridge when leaving the area of Queens where I had visited. We have GPS in out new car, but I didn't have access to that car yesterday; all the more reason to put a GPS in the old car, and a 1490LMT is what it'll be!

I am not really familiar with the cheaper model. I can say that the unit that I have works very well. It is very accurate and dependable and I highly recommend it.

It appears that there is no functional difference. The 66E1 model is newer and costs less.

If it goes to about 85% and never gets to France, that is just perfect. For heaven sakes do not rent a Never Lost from Hertz. It is an old TOM TOM and as we drove down the coast of Spain, last month, it put us 20 km off shore in the Med. You did good the 275T is absolutely great! If it breaks or goes goofy in Europe, department store in Europe have a Europesn Garmin that is about $139.00 US. When you get home add the USACities upgrade SD chip and do both.

Absolutely. It sits higher and is more stable. On resale more people want the model E. Worth the extra money.

I bought the 260 and can recommend it (although later Garmin changed the interface to the 2x5 series ... which may or may not be a positive). My new 765t doesn't route me any better than my 260 did (it just has a few bells and whistles that I liked and needed ... lane assist for one).I've never owned a TomTom, so I cannot compare the two.

Yes, I was reviewing it and was thinking to buy the more expensive one as I thought it must be better in some way, then I discovered that the cheaper one was newer and had more zoom options. Rare instance where going cheaper is getting the better product.

Hi D. Brodsky. I'm having a hard time deciding which one to get. What did you end up getting, E1 or E2? What's your opinioin? Thanks, Tony

Its the same! It could be that the higher price one is a version thaats a year newer that may have brand new roads.I would not trust it because there are no buyers for that one. Its probably the same. Stick with the one I got. You will be very happy. Safe trip Jerry Steve A.

The Fuze feature set is the same, it seems to be the continuation of the e200 line, the big difference is that the Fuze does pretty much everything better. The wheel is much better designed, the interface is smoother in terms of navigation, the firmware is less buggy, it uses a better video format I believe, better battery life and it has much much better sound quality (compared to the v1 e280, not sure about the v2). The only advantages of the e280 would be the easily replaceable battery and ability to load Rockbox (though this is only for the v1, not the v2).
