Answer 2

If you buy a Garmin, choose a model that ends with a "5", like 205, 255, 265, 755, or 765, etc. They are newer models than the ones that end with "0" like 200, 350, 360, 760, etc.



There are several useful upgrades from the older series to the new series, so be sure you get the latest. Within the new series, as you go up in price, you get more features like widescreen, mp3 and bluetooth, but the basic navigation is the same.

Tom Tom also makes good GPS but I am not very familiar with their products.

My personal pick would be the Garmin...I used my mother in laws for a trip to the beach, and it tells you word for word where to turn...picks up a list of attractions, restaurants and many more and give you point by point directions on ow to get there. I'm pretty sure all the GPS systems do that, that's on the market. But I like this one because it's not expensive. Hope you find a good one!!
