I personally have two Garmin GPS systems that I love!
After reviewing a few "expert" opinions on this, I think that you'd fare best with a NUVI or maybe an international GPS device. Depending on how large you'd like the screen and which features you desire; give the following a look. Each one I'm adding has a 4 star or above rating and the lowest possible price listed. I think the little 660 4.3" screen Nuvi is an excellent purchase. Its number 3 on the CNET review and of the top 10, the only one under $200! Did I mention I use that one daily? Long battery and precise directions make it my first choice!

The latest and most popular range of navigational instruments is, of course the Nuvi range, of which the Garmin Nuvi 780 GPS Navigator is slowly and steadily making its presence felt as a pathfinder with which to reckon. By the way, it works excellently in bright sunlight too! One of the best points which customers found to their liking is that it has a feature -- where am I, which means How Far Am I from the nearest hospital, gas station, police station, intersection or of course your destination.
And if you happen to be just like me, finding it rather difficult to remember where you parked your car, it has a very handy feature, which is known as the car locator
