Janet sparked my interest again and I've been doing lots of research tonight. I think Bren and I decided on the Magellan Maestro 4050. It has a lot of great features. My favorite is the voice command! I placed a bid on Ebay for one that is half the retail price, but still brand new in the box. *fingers crossed*

Thanks all, Angie what a great informative site. I've heard that the Garmin is one of the very best. I've been wanting to purchase one for some time and now that the gift giving holiday is fast approaching I thought I'd better get busy and check these things out. I was just curious, since new roads are always being built, how it was updated. Since it comes with software, that is probably how it's done.

Janet your funny too... This gadget is amazing, I must warn you though if you are going to a new street that was developed recently, it will not recognize the address and therefore you won't get there. Unless the newer ones or the computer savy folks know a way to get around it. lol

I've never had a GPS so have no info on them; Sorry Janet. The truck I drive has OnStar in it and I have used the voice navigation often in that. It's been amazing to me.

LOL Gina, the music is always going, or i'm talking, or my mind is somewhere else, so i miss what "she says" it makes me nervous LOL - ive often told her to s-h-u-t- the **** up hahaha - at times i think shes confused too, we joke about her being "high"
I seriously dont like them, but my husband swears by them.

Angie, did you get the navigation system? You can update them right? I don't if I want to spend that much money if you can't update them once in awhile.

No, I was outbid and didn't want to go any higher. I'm stubborn about stuff like that. I did bid on a Harry Potter book for my mom today. We'll see how that one goes! LOL
