Good morning!
My kids continually tell me I need a GPS, because I am constantly lost! So your question will help me as much as it does you. Let's find us a good one that doesn't cost us a ton of money!
Far and away, the best-reviewed units are the Garmin nuvi series. Garmin has one model, the Garmin Nuvi 205, that comes in for under $200, at $165, but still gives top-reviewed value for the money.
According to one reviewer, "You can also download actual photos of yourdestination to navigate toward. And the nüvi 205 is capable ofproviding traffic alerts (although a traffic receiver costs extra).Testers say the nüvi 205 routes more quickly and is even more intuitiveto operate than the well-liked nüvi 200, making the nüvi 205 the newbudget navigator of choice." The one thing the 205 does not have is text to speech capability, which means you'll have to read or look at the directions, rather than hear them while you're driving.
The Garmin nüvi 760 is the very top rated GPS unit, according to experts. It costs more, at about $300, and doesn't have voice-command operation, but experts say it navigates with great accuracy, "with multi-destinationroute plotting and text-to-speech capability (so turns are announced bystreet name). The Garmin nüvi 760 is loaded with extras, including anMP3 player and the ability to sort multiple destinations into oneefficient route. It can even help you find your car in a crowdedparking lot." There are GPS units that will cost less than the Nuvi series, but none of them are as well-reviewed.
