I've heard that the Garmin is the best for 'bells and whistles' ....LOL But that the TomTom is a best seller too because of it's ease of use. I think anyone would be safe with either one of these.

I went to Radio Shack yesterday to buy a new mouse and took a look at the TomTom, the Magellan and the Garmin.

I don't remember the best model, but:

-I don't want to pay for bells and whistles (MP3, etc.)

-I want the biggest screen that's comfortable, otherwise I might as well just tape up a mapquest map on my dashboard. Some are so small, I'd have to pull over to see it.

-I definitely want a clear voice that rereoutes you.

-Some have miles, some have miles and minutes, etc. I need one that does minutes.
I have no idea how to think in miles.

I'm going to put the links to Consumers latest:

If you want any more info, let me know.

I'm also buying on eBay Angie. The prices are ridiculously high when I know in 6 months, there will be new, improved models.
