I got the Garmin Nuvi as you mentioned above. It's really good and simple to use. Sticks to your window with a sucker on a rotatable ball joint (as they probably all do?). *Very* simple menu system with predictive typing to auto-finish your addresses. I don't know much about other brands but the directions so far have been spot-on, and I mean the kind of sanity based directions as distinct from getting a ferry to the UK if your travelling between Dundrum and Stillorgan type of thing! The unit comes with a cigarette lighter charge cable and a slim instruction book which you won't need.

I'm not a fan of multi-solution devices blacknight as I *always* lose stuff and then if I lose my phone I've also lost my pda, gps, coffee machine etc. you know what I mean? Anyway, I also suffer from non-existent sense of direction (which is the only excuse you need to justify buying a GPS) and I find the Garmin great. I just select 'Go to', put in the address and this nice lady tells me when to turn etc.

cheers,

Mike

I have a route 66 device for my car, fantastic bit of kit. Drove a car back from the east of England with it and it made the drive a breeze.

The Garmin devices would be the top of the range when it comes to GPS but more expensive for this reason.

Whatever device you go for make sure it has the Navteq mapping system, this is regarded as the best.
