Reply With QuoteI have a great one. It's called a Thomas guide. I think you can get them at Target for just a few dollars.Although mapquest works great too.
I'm thinking of buying the wife a GPS Navigation System for her car, any recommendations / input from users would be appreciated. :rollside:
Thanks, Pete

Thanks, we have Thomas guides in our vehicles, but do to the fact that she is often across county lines when it is dark and sometimes with my children, I felt it would be safer to have a navigation system as opposed to having to pull over for an extended period of time in an unfamiliar area as she looked up directions. I understand the merits of both the Thomas guide and map quest, but I am looking for a safer more user friendly resource she can employ when she is actually out on on the road.
I have you checked out the one they've been advertising on TV lately? I think it's called the TomTom.
Yes, I did browse the site, I will be looking at it in person as soon as the stores open today. I do like the way it incorporates blue tooth for the hands free calling capabilities.

Are you sure it is not bob bob
We have the Garmin 2610 which has since been upgraded to the 2720.
It's a great, easy-to-use product and once you start using it you won't want to be without it. Shop on the Net and you'll find even the brand new models at very good prices. The cool thing is it's portable and you can move if from vehicle-to-vehicle and the maps and software can be updated online.
Here's a link to Garmin's mobile electronics page (http://www.garmin.com/mobile/)

The Garmin 2620 is great, i would not want to travel with out it now.
Depends on your price level. The 2600/2700 series Garmins are super sweet, but a little spendy for me. I run a Garmin GPS-V now. Does everything, and it's pretty cheap now ($325?) but a bigger screen would be nice.
For that, my next one will be a Garmin 276C. Larger screen, color, takes SD memory cards so you can load the detail of certain areas to it from the CD they provide, etc. And it's in the $600 range.
