Any advice on GPS?

We have a Garmin Streetpilot 2720 which was highly recommended by many people on this site a while back. The best part about it is that it sits in a bean bag which sits on the dashboard. There are no suction cups on the dashboard … and it’s easy to transfer from one vehicle to another. There is no temptation for theft as no one would ever know it’s in a car.

The particular model we bought was discontinued but is still available online. It works incredibly well. Our only tiny complaints are that there is no battery (so if you are programming it in the house, you need to use the A/C adapter - not really a big deal) and the microphone is in the plug. Again, if you are programming it inside, there is no voice option. However, the voice is very clear in the car, and there is a choice of male/female with accents; we enjoy the Australian one!

I highly recommend the Garmin brand - and the beanbag!
