7" Screen Text-to-Speech GPS System $124.99

Update November 1st -- the price has dropped $5 further to $124.99.

I've posted a few deals for GPS systems, an accessory I've used to make many trips easier and less stressful. Most of the deals have been for the small screen portable systems which I've found handy. But for anyone who's looking for a unit with a larger screen for a bigger view of maps (and the ability to have other video functions), here's a system you may want to check out.
Buy.com is selling the Plenio VXA-3000-2G 7" Touchscreen GPS Navigation System for just $129.99. Budget shipping is free.

Larger screen units of digital devices typically are more expensive than smaller screens, so this looks like a nice price point -- it would be a fairly good price for a 3.5" screen system.

Besides GPS functions, this unit has lots of other uses built-in. It has MP3 capability like many of its smaller cousins, but because the screen is big enough, it can also be used for video and gaming purposes when it's not being used as a GPS. That could come in handy keeping the kids entertained during rest stops on a long trip.

This GPS system features:
- Slim, lightweight design
- Large 7" Touchscreen LCD Panel
- Accurate highly responsive GPS receiver
- U.S. and Canadian Maps on 2GB SD Card
- Easy to use: simple touch screen interface
- Turn-by-turn voice guidance available in multiple languages
- Text-to-Speech pronounces street names
- Automatic re-routing: quickly recalculates during route deviation
- Smart detour: calculates detours around traffic jams at the touch of a button
- Automatic zoom feature: map level adjusts according to vehicle speed
- 2D and 3D maps supported plus day /night view settings
- AV input port: can be used as in-car display for DVD players, gaming devices, etc.
- DIVX Video Player, audio player, photo slide show, puzzle game supported
- Built-in Media Player
- Built-in Music Player
- Wireless FM transmitter (listen to your music over your vehicle stereo speakers)
- Automatic startup and shutdown

This feature-set is a step up from many of the smaller units, and the bigger screen may make navigating those trips a bit easier to follow. If this sounds like a system you might want to check out, click the picture below.
