What is the best GPS available for under $175? Daughters are buying me one for my birthday.
Many thanks for any advice.
I paid a little over 100 bucks for a Magellan Maestro w/ a 4.3 screen about a year ago and use it whenever I leave town.
From what I understand . . . the primary difference with the premium models is more Whistles and Bells. Mine works just fine and does everything I want and/or need.
We have a Tom Tom and like it quite a bit. I think all the GPS's these days are going to be about the same - here's what I'd look for if I bought a new one:
Easy to read screen
Easy to change settings (like turning the volume down)
Free map updates (I have no idea if anyone does this but it irks me to have to pay 1/2 as much for the new maps as a new GPS).
You might want to go to a store and pick them up and look at them and see which one appeals to you the most.
I really like my Tom-tom. I don't know how much it would cost, but I think it's worth paying for a bigger screen.
