Garmin Nuvi 360 Portable GPS Text to Speech Navigation System - One of the best sellers on Amazon, includes text to speech and turn by turn directions
The Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS Navigator and Personal Travel Assistant is one of the best selling navigation systems on Amazon. With an incredible personal translator, multi-media entertainer and tour guide all wrapped into one, it will get you going across the United States without having to stop at sleezy rest stops for directions (or rifling around in the backseat during 90 degree weather for that tattered road map). The Garmin Nuvi portable 360 also has an MP3 player and audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, and hands-free Bluetooth technology that's reliable and consistent. Garmin is the world's #1 selling navigation system because of this reliability, and it's also the best reviewed.
Garmin nuvi Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator - FM traffic updates, MSN content, fast satellite lock, and text to speech
Garmin's nuvi 255W has made some significant improvements with faster satellite lock, terrain maps, and an incredible new photo navigation feature. It also is more specific than the 200 series with its directions. Instead of vague "turn left in 50 feet" directions, it will tell you the name of the street (which saves a lot of headaches!).
TomTom One Third Edition Auto Navigation System - The world's best selling portable navigation device
This is one of the best selling GPS navigation systems in existence. TomTom is another reliable, awesome brand to take with you on any road trip, or simply to work everyday. The 3rd edition update to the world's bestselling portable navigation device features an updated chipset that provides better satellite lock and TomTom's new MapShare technology that lets you add your own map corrections.
The model you see below is refurbished, which means it's been returned to the company and repaired to like new conditions. It also includes a 6 month warranty on the parts and labor. You can save a bundle of money buying refurbished. I've done it before and I was happy with the quality I received.
Just think...
..no more pulling aside to read a map. No more wrong turns (well, they can't drive for you, but it's the next best thing).
