I wouldn't bother buying a stand alone GPS when you can get mobile phones with that function built into them, and free map updates as and when they are required. It's just something else competing for your cigarette lighter port.Go Nokia Ovi Maps!
buying a map and asking a local for directions is cheaper.

What dribble, ever tried to read a map where driving! Then wondered if you missed the turn or what ever. You don't see ambulances with maps do you, funny that.

Yup, saves so much time, especially trying to memorize map routes. Takes the stress out of driving allowing more focus to be on the road / actual driving.

Whats wrong with making life easier for youself saving time. Why make it harder if you dont need to pretty obvious thats why gps is used by motorists, boaties, planes.
Does it get the latests maps, new st pop up all the time. Gps double as a speedo to giving you a digital speedo read out vs a analog odmeter that flickers. Then gives you a rough idea of hw far away you are time wise, allows you to plan your day. The benefits sure do out weigh the negatives.

The cheapest with the most map upgrades! Stick with known brands like Tomtom, navman, garmin etc, places like Dick Smith have them all on display.

get one with blue-tooth for your phone.then you have hands-free phone in the car as well.my TomTom GPS has this and its brilliant.way better than those add on kits you get for phones.its speaker and microphone seem very good and it simply connects to the phone when i get in the car.even has some of the phones functions on its screen. so phone stays in pocket and i can answer calls and call out etc from the TomTom. one more peice of advice.make sure whatever you get has a decent way of sticking to the windscreen or dash.again, i can only speak for mine, but its got a very good turning-lock suction thing.it has never fallen off the glass.
