We needed a GPS for our road trip last week. So we bought one and I am so happy with it.
We bought a Garmin nuvi 265T.
Aside from being affordable, this GPS is loaded with features that we really need. It speaks the street names and not only the turn by turn direction. It has millions of point of interests. Even in a small town, you'll find fuel and food store. Best of all it has hands-free calling or blue tooth capability. Garmin nuvi 265T is loaded with US and Canada maps.
One that made me happier is that it tells you alot of information like the speed limit, what time you'll arrive in your destination and the traffic!
It's a great gadget for travellers!

My Kind Of GPS
GPS Application on an iPhone?
Tomtom has an iPhone that also functions as a GPS. This GPS also tells the turn by turn direction. It's loaded with US and Canada map. The package includes the mount and car charger.
Some people claimed that it will make standalone GPS obsolete. For me, a standalone GPS is better than a combo. It's like a separate TV and a DVD player or a camcorder and a digital camera. The functionality and features are optimized when it's a standalone. Besides, what if your phone ring and you're driving in a strange place. Unless the Tomtom GPS/iPhone has a bluetooth capability, you'll find your self lost. So get, a standalone!
