running watches gps ebay image

I purchased a Tomtom XL 250 just over a year ago and just as the warranty runs out (of course), the hardware decides to die. It is displaying a red cross and won't work and despite an extremely long conversation with the Tomtom Helpdesk, I am unable to resolve this problem as it is probably a hardware issue, not a software issue.
Which GPS (brand and model) have you found to work the longest? I am disappointed with Tomtom as I expected it to last longer than a year. I am looking for a GPS between $200-$400.
Thanks for your help!
Answer
I have a Garmin nuvi 1450LMT (lifetime maps and traffic) that I purchased from Office Depot (they price-matched hh gregg). Its easy to use and with the 5-inch screen, easy for me to see. I don't know about the other brands of GPS units, but if it comes with any lifetime updates, you must register it within 60 days of activation in order to be able to receive the lifetime updates.
You should be able to purchase most brands for less than $200. Watch your newspapers ads, or check the stores' websites (Office Depot, Best Buy, hh gregg, etc.) for sales. Also go to Amazon or eBay.

Advice on which heart rate monitor to buy for my daughter?
chustplayi
I would like to buy a heart rate monitor watch for my daughter. It needs to display the heart rate and the stopwatch readout at the SAME time (2 lines) so that she can look at her time while she is running. I would like one that is not too large. I bought her one, but I got it on Ebay, and when it arrived it turned out to be quite large. I'd like to spend less than $100.
If you would like to give advice on units to avoid, that would be welcome also.
I did almost bid on the Polar S120, but I think it might be pretty big.
Thanks for your help.
Answer
I use the Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS. It has a heart rate monitor, stopwatch, set alerts for your pace and HR, includes distance, best pace, average pace etc. Much more than $100. But well worth it.
