Hi,
Been thinking about getting a GPS unit that has ability to be used as a logbook for tax. I'm finding it hard to know which brand / unit to choose. From investigation I know the Navman's have "Mileage Logger' or similar. Not sure if / what Garmin / Tom Tom has like that? Wanted people's experience around using GPS for logging trips that can be used for tax purposes. Thanks a ton.

Iv'e got a navman, the older model without the logging function, icn series, and would never recommend navman to anyone. Tends to take the scenic route, taxi mode as someone from these forums appropriately called it. Worst after sales service ever and upgrading the maps on them is more expensive than getting a new unit.
Having said that I don't really know if the other brands are any better as I haven't owned any of them. When in the US a while back I had a rental car with a tom-tom gps in it and I thought it was miles better than the navman. |
