Default GPS?

Anyone put a GPS system in their Mustang? Just curious as we just bought one that is going to be used on the motorcycle and Mustang. Happened to see this particular one in action while in Colorado in a friend's truck when we were looking for a Walmart in Denver. Its a Lowrance Iway 500c...the company just happens to be a 30 minute drive away from us. Just curious if anyone has installed a GPS and what did you choose?

pretty much i am getting this one so it can just replace the shaker 500 interface, and it still covers all the needs (mp3, navi, etc)

I yanked out the skipper1000 several months ago and installed a Kenwood DDX7015 with the KNV4100 navigation unit, along with Sirius radio, all new speakers, couple of amps, etc. Absolutely love it.
I am not familiar with the iWay's so I can't really comment on them. But if I were going to get a portable GPS, I think I would go with the Garmin, probably one of the Street Pilot series like the 2610 or the 340c

I actually use a Magellan 760 portable unit that I can also use in the SUV when going out with the family. I also like the fact that I don't have to look downward to the navigation screen cause I use a windshield mount.

Also, chrisc that's a nice unit but what navigation software does it use?

Pictures kinda suck, but here are a couple. And yea, I know, it has finger prints on it. What can I say, it is a touch screen. That is why I have a screen protector on it.
