Default OBDII and GPS

I need some recommendations on good OBDII scanners (its time to get my own) and good GPS systems (can you tell im making my Christmas list??). I have heard that TomTom makes a good GPS and they have a Land Rover feature you can download. Anyone have this? Any opinions you have I would love to hear.

Thanks!

I have a TomTom and the Land Rover start up screen AND Mr.T as my voice. I LOVE my TomTom, I use it every day at FedEx.

And just a FYI, the Mr. T voice was the best $6 I have ever spent.

HAHAHA i saw that as a download option and i thought it was great! However, i didnt see the LR startup download, is there a link? I think I am leaning toward the TomTom right now so its good to hear you like it.

I have had mine since fall of 2005, I bought it for delivering FEMA trailers to Misissippi and Louisiana.
I do not remember where I got the LR start up screen. I think it was off the TomTom site but dont remember.
I need a bigger memery card for mine, I cant update it anymore, no room left. lol

I ordered a navigon 2100 a few weeks ago. I'm happy with it, only cost $79..3.5" touch screen...good resolution...also since it runs winCE you can unlock it and use it as a touch screen PDA..and even play movies on it.

oh yeah..for $20 you can get lifetime traffic report

Watch movies on my SAT/NAV? I'd never get any work done!

Do you have a link to it? I would like to check it out.
