    Default In Car GPS

    My friend needs a GPS for his wife. However, I haven't seen the best reviews for alot of the Magellan or TomToms. It needs text to speech and hopefully blutooth calling. ~$150-$300.

    CNet wasn't much help. They are like, this is ok.. and people are like ehhh.....

    I always go with Garmin Nuvi.

    Seriously, there's little else out there that matches it to me.

    I have a simple Garmin, no problems at all. Gets me to point A and to point B.

    All those fancy features are unnecessary :P

    I don't need a GPS. I can locate myself in any part of the world just by calculating the angle at which the afternoon wind is pushing the rainy clouds of December.

    Oh and I also use maps.

    Garmin Nuvi or the Mio brand ones (not sure what they're called).

    I have a mio one, but it's embedded into my engine. It was good until then, though

    On the bright side your engine block knows where it landed to within 3 meters.
