I have an insurance adjuster's license (Florida) and have taken a lot of
adjuster's courses with other adjusters. One of the most valuable tools,
according to most of them, is a GPS. Imagine trying to find an address in the
middle of a wiped-out hurricane or tornado zone--with the GPS it can be done.
Anyway, the brand and model I have heard mentioned most often in that group is
the Garmen Street Pilot. I don't have one myself, as I am not currently in the
adjustment business, but thought I would pass along the opinion of those who
use them regualarly.
