Is that item worth the price? and is it good compared to the one sold on mp3car?

well garmin has been a trusted name with respect to GPS for years now, but I have no experience with that particular product.

Search for some reviews..

edit: you could always pick one up for now and return it once you get back from your road trip..

I live in NH, near you in boston, and ordered an OEM GPS mod from http://www.navtechgps.com/supply/gps15LH.asp it arrived two days after I ordered... but... your kinda running out of time if you choose online ordering..

garmin 18 is good, but you can find them $80-90 online so the walmart one is a little expensive. Also if you do get it, make sure you get the serial version, NOT the usb. usb version uses proprietary garmin format while serial is standard NMEA data.

Frys Electronics sells iGuidance and Microsoft S&T witht he hardware.

It is in providence but if my memory serves me correctly thats like a 30 minute drive
