Im trying to read the review....looked a bit mixed.

But the 855 looks like the better, what about the 600 dollar 885:

All I gotz my dad was a shirt and hat..............oh and a card. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Garmin would be nice, but all he does is drive to work and back home. Only on his drunken nights would he need that.

If I ever got my dad something for Father's Day it would be a bill or a subpoena. That is all.

x2.. these things update and upgrade like computers, every **** 3 months.. Unless your getting this just for EVERY option available its pointless, and does not offer better options, POI, features..

Hell you can get a very nice garmin , 4.3" screen voice command advanced routes, Traffic updates , and detiurs etc for $250. But if your all about tossing an extra $3-400 for a few options, more power to ya //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif But heres a few i saw in case you change your mind

MY personal fav.. , can be had for under $400

edit** gave the wrong link.. this one is the shit.. and can be found for under $400-- This has everything you would ever need, wont be outdated soon, and is well below what you want or should have to spend
