With the credit crunch I have started to become a lot more careful with what I am spending my money on. I have decided that I need to get a new garmin but deciding on which one is pretty tricky. I do not want to spend an unnecessary amount of money but I do want one that I will not have to replace very quickly. I lost my Garmin 96 and so if I am likely to lose the next one I buy then it would make sense to go for a cheaper model. However, if I do not lose it, which is likely as I do not often lose things, then it might be better to get one with more features.
This would mean that I would not need to upgrade it so quickly. Something like the Garmin 496 could be good as I think it looks cool as well as having great features. However, there are others which I think probably give better value for money and so I have also been considering the Garmin 296 as well. It is a tricky decision and I expect it will take me several more days research before I make up my mind.
