Can you be more specific about what kind of unit you're talking about?

Um. I don't really know. I just want something to put in the car to tell me when to turn right and stuff like that. I'm inclined to go with a Garmin something or other (since I use a Garmin eTrex Venture for backpacking and I like it) but have no intimate knowledge of the products offered and by whom. Suggestions/advice appreciated.

I have a Garmin Zumo 550, which is one of their motorcycle-specific units.  You could use it in a car (I have), but it's probably not ideal compared to other units out there.  Garmin is widely regarded as the user-friendliest GPS on the market.  Make sure you think about whether you need an internal battery, as some are not so equipped.

And I think there was just recently a thread on this very subject in the FGI Clubhouse.

 Laugh at you


It's prolly just me, but I don't get those things.  I can't think of any time I would go somewhere, that I don't know how to get there.  (save that one time going to meet Fuzz, but for me, it just doesn't happen that often. Don't Know)
