I'm thinking about a GPS for my Mom and Dad. My Dad has diabetes and can't see well enough to drive or read a map any more. This frustrates my Mom who now has only herself to blame when they get lost. They don't travel out of town a lot, but frequently meet with friends for dinner, a movie, or a play.(Apparently never in the same place twice.) They'll need the most simple model out there. It doesn't need a bunch of features, because they'll never use them. The more on-line reviews I read about them, the more confused I become. Anyone have an opinion on them? Thanks!!

They come with so many bells and whistles now it's hard to just get a GPS.
For instance, my Garmin 260 was Blue Tooth ready. So I enabled it and when I got my first call on it, the audio just sucked! So I tried to just use my phone like always and BT wouldn't let go of it. Garmin and Magellan are about the best to be had. |

get your parents a cheap Garmin nuvi. it has the most intuitive UI out of all of them that i've found. i use a Garmin every day and love it. This post has been edited by billy_ocean: Dec 16 2008, 01:59 AM |
