I bought my dad a Garmin Quest 2 a few years ago and have only yelled "No... I'm not off course" a handful of times. So I chocked it up to user error since that is the only issue we've ever had with it.
I over thought this purchase much like the first and decided I had to have text to speech, so it says the actual street names. Not really important BTW. I wound up with a Garmin Nuvi 350 because it is very small, has the speaker built in (most do now but my dad's has it in the power cable), 6 to 8 hour battery, touchscreen, and you don't have to upload any maps if you stay in North America. Other dopey features include an MP3 player, audiobook reader, SD slot, you can add a custom picture to your startup screen, translate a few different languages, it has a calculator and currency converter.
You can also add a remote antenna for concealed installation and FM traffic reports (with purchase of antenna adapter and a $60 yearly fee.) I wound getting it from Beach Camera, they have good prices and are local.
