Garmin - Nuvi 660 GPS Receiver —
We have had a Garmin Nuvi for over a year now, and use her every time we go on a road trip. Last year my husband used it to get to a convention site in Philadelphia, and he was directed right to the hotel from a small town in Indiana. We use the British voice and have given her a name. (Eliza Doolittle). Eliza has been so helpful in getting us where we want to be. Maps are great, but Eliza gives you so much more detail, such as specific street addressses, college campuses, even churches near our location.
I also like the fact that she records and keeps the sites recently visited, so you don't need to spell it out again.
The only drawback we have found, that if you decide to take a different route as you are traveling, she recalculates and tries to send you back the way she wants. Solution is to enter a new shorter destination and return to the original one when you want to go back to the previous directions.
