NPC Recomend a GPS

I My wife wants a portable GPS for Christmas. I have never used one. Does anyone have a favorite? The ones that talk to you seem like a good idea. PC I will sometimes use it in my SC.

Thanks

Bernie

Garmin is supposed to be the best.

The Garmin Nuvi is a fantastic unit. I love my 350 and have never heard anything bad about them.

Researched this for last Christmas - they all seem pretty good these days.
I had an old Magellan that had it's problems, but it may have been more due to it being "old" rather than anything else.
Ended up with the Garmin - they're the GPS's in planes/boats etc., so I figured they must be okay.
I'm a cheap b@stard so went with:

I can't believe how much I rely on it! Great, no frills, unit.

Smart buy- you won't regret a GPS unit.

Best,
Nos

What are you planning to use the GPS for? Driving directions only? Outdoor?

Just an alternative, I have the V2 navigator on my cell phone and it works surprisingly well and its always in your pocket.
