[Shop-talk] Looking for GPS recommendations

[Jeff Scarbrough]

It depends...  :)

I have a Garmin Nuvi currently.  I'm perfectly satisfied with it, and
with Garmin in general (I've used many of their navigation products
over the last ten years).

Features to consider:

Screen size - bigger is better, up to a point

Lifetime map updates - don't buy without this feature.  Map updatess
can cost as much as a whole new unit...

Street names - a voice telling you to "turn right onto Oak Street in
500 feet"  is more useful than the one that says "turn right in 500
feet"

Here's an example of something to consider:
