Default Help -- Best GPS with updated maps????

We just moved to Gilbert off of Williamsfield and 202. Problem is that our TomTom one doesn't even recognize the 202 let alone anything south or east of it. Does anyone use or can recommend a GPS with current maps that can be easily updated. Any feedback or help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been impressed with the Garmin Nuvi series - they have a USB cable and you can download updates from their site. For instance, my GPS now recognizes Buckeye, which it didn't earlier.

You should be able to download updates for your TomTom. My son has one and that's what he does.

Tomtom doesn't offer map updates.. you have to pay for them and they aren't cheap.

TomTom charges almost the cost for a new unit for an update with no guarantee that it covers any newer areas. Are the Garmin Nuvi updates free? Any other suggestions?

Go with the New GARMIN NUVI 660 or similar. Their latest map update has everything you need.
