John,
1) Smartphone. If you've got an Android or Blackberry, get the Google
Maps app for it. I don't use a standalone GPS unit any more.
2) Barring that, I'll go home and get the model number off ours, which
we bought at Thanksgiving for my mom before she said she already had
one. It works fine, and I have to think at this point virtually
anything from Tomtom or Magellan (or the other Big Name I'm forgetting
right now...Garmin! That's it!) will have to do just fine. Our was $75
on sale, works great. Think it's a Tomtom.
