which GPS to get?

Whatever you do, don't get a GPS without text-to-speech.

what does it mean by text to speech...???

I have a Garmin Nuvi 265WT.....wide-screen with lifetime traffic (WT). I call her Aimee.... because she aims me in the right direction. She's awesome. On a long trip when you don't know where you are and you need a bio break, you ask Aimee and she tells you where the closest one is. Same goes for food, airports, shops.... all that good stuff.

I found it interesting that she couldn't find a specific new address, once, (though she took me to the closest area) but after I'd been to that address she knew exactly where it was. I didn't know she could remember things she didn't know to begin with!

The traffic feature is awesome too. Shows you exactly where the problems are, and your best options. And if you get lost she recalculates and gets you right back on track.

SNAP.... only i refer to ours as "the Lady" unless shes recalculating which tends to be frequently when we change our minds and then I call her "the female dog"

Her tone gets very annoyed when we dont do the u-turn she requested....lol

Rather than just turn left, it announces the name of the street.

The newer models also allow you to say the name of the place you what to find rather than type it in.
