We have a Garmin hand-held, which is great. Wonderful. So incredibly useful! Imagine having to miss a turn because of construction barrels in NY city, on a street you've never been to, and immediately the device remaps it, and tells you where to turn to get back on track! No set of directions, or map reading can do that within 5 seconds, especially as it's hard to tell on many maps which streets are one way the wrong way!

And because it's hand-held, you can use it walking around as well, useful for Paul when he was on foot outside of Las Vegas wanting to see the petroglyphs in a State Park ... it took him right to them!

Bruce has one in his truck (I'm not sure what brand), but it is great for him. He is a realtor and uses it to show properties. He can program in various addresses and it takes him from one to the other.
Yes sometimes your info disc isn't up-to-date, but overall it's great!
We want to get a portable one that we can take on the motorcycle and the boat (and I'd get to take it in my car)

Yeah, Karen, that's what I'm hoping to get. I have NO sense of direction AT ALL. If there's no Burger King on the corner, I'm lost. I can't read maps (dyslexic a smidgen or maybe an excuse for idiocy )

The car insurance commercial on TV where this cocky guy is driving and following GPS directions and it says "Make a Right" and he does and crashes into a window..then the GPS continues "in 20 feet"......That would be ME!!!
My adoring friends think it's hysterical and typical!
