I did a search, but the info was old.......
My son will be working in the DC area this summer and I'd like to buy a gps for him to use in the car........don't need all the latest bells and whistles like mp3 etc, just need something to help him get around.........
Any recommendations??
Garmin Nuvi is a great tool for my directionally challenged behind!
Haven't been lost here yet. Butt out,Steelhead!
Both my sons, and I, use the Garmin 265WT. Very capable unit, with lots of bells and whistles, not the most expensive of the bunch.
Highly recommend it.
All I have used is the Nuvi and it is outstanding
Another vote for the Nuvi. It was only 200 at Sams Club
Garmin Nuvi all the way! If you don't want all the bells and whistles, get the cheapest one they have. For about $30 more then their cheapes, you can get a bigger screen and a few more b&w's, namely voice prompts for every turn.
I've used them for years, and they are great. Even had one on my Harley when I crashed at 75mph, and the damn thing still works!
GonHuntin....Cabelas has over 400 reviews on their entire line of Nuvis. It's quite thorough if you're still in the research phase.I tried to link it for you but my laptop voids the attempt for some reason.
Steely loves voice prompts. It gives him something to yell at while traveling.
I'd happily buy Bob a GPS.........
So what voice did you choose Steelhead?
I'd happily buy Bob a GPS.........
Does he like to yell at it, too.
An Issac Hayes or Samuel Jackson version could be fun. "Turn left [bleep]&*(%!!!"
Kinda like
this. (language advisory)
I don't need no stinking GPS in my vehicle.
I know....
"Turn left on Highway 50, 200 feet."
Samuel L. Jackson would be funny.
How about this for a car alarm...

Hard to tell Oklahoma from Kansas........
Especially from the passenger's seat!
It's always best to enter through the back door anyway.
Side door would have been more accurate, but what can you do with that?
Speaking of which, I'm gone. Got a date tonight with a French teacher.
I'll give you a jingle tomorrow and tell you about the pregnant chick in NO. Only me......
Nuvi 265. Easy to use for the Missus and enough B&Ws to keep me occupied. Cabela's price matched Walmart, great buy with the club special and points.

If you want to really impress her, say this to the bartender.
Je veux jouer avec ta sucette!
I won a TomTom from a work raffle. I wish it were a Garmin. It seems like there's an extra layer of software for every feature. It's not bad, but not as user friendly as a friend's Garmin.
Have a Tom-Tom, worked Ok on my trip south after I worked with it awhile. Have a friend with a Garmin and if I were to find someone who wants a Tom-Tom, I'd get a Garmin. Just a little easier to use.
