I got a Garmin Nuvi, it has traffic reports and all kinds of other stuff, was kinda pricey but a fun and useful gadget. THe cheaper ones have smaller screens and fewer additional features, depending on what you want/need that sorta drives your choice. I think the Garmins get about the best reviews. It does get confused on newer construction though, if the maps have not been updated to reflect that.
I like Nuvi's voice, even when I get her flustered and she commands me to do unnatural (driving) acts. She is very persistent sometimes. On an aside, when I was first setting it up, I was sitting in my chair in the back of the house, away from the street. I had it on, and it determined EXACTLY where I was, and kept pointing to the edge of the street, maybe 80 ft away, as where "home" was. Very cool. I was surprised it locked on the sats from in the house, but it did with the built-in antenna. --R Robert Rentfro wrote: > Spent the weekend in L.A. in a rented Gran Prix.
