The best GPS I’ve found is a friend with Google Maps at the other end of the phone.

I can’t count how many times my DW called me up at work and asked “where am I?”

I have a friend with an in-console GPS, and the screen doubles as a monitor for the rear camera when you are backing up, which is pretty cool.

Even if I liked in-console better (and I’ve never had a car with one) I don’t think I would spend 10x over what a portable one costs, especially since I would need a portable one anyway for the cars that don’t have one built-in.
