With that said...

Go for a Garmin Nuvi. Simple, no one wants to steal it, it talks to you or you can mute it (unlike significant others) and it only does what it's programmed to do.

Unless you live in a constantly developing area, the maps are as accurate as your own eyes...they just don't tell you, all the time, when there are "immediate detours" unless you're on some major thoroughfare/highway. And potholes are your responsibility

These things are intended to get you to point "B" from point "A" - not to hold your hand and steer the car for you.

And it beats having to fold up the "old ones" and get it, somehow, back into the glove compartment!

The drawback? You can't use it to wipe your bum like the "old ones" if you get into a "pinch" (Pun intended!)...
