As a die hard user of traditional maps (and more recently, Google Maps on my iPhone) I have reluctantly held back from the temptation to buy an automotive based GPS system.

Cons
Points-of-interest listings can be too broad or too skimpy. Occasional wrong prompt.
Recommended it?
Yes
I absolutely hate getting lost when I'm driving. Is there anything worse than having no idea which way to go? And inevitably, I get lost when I most need to be on time, such as going to a wedding, a business appointment, or an appointment with a new doctor. And it's usually dark, raining, and I'm...

Recommended it?

I did a lot of research before buy a GPS system. I heard so many horror stories I had to be sure that if I was going to invest money into this gadget--it better work and work well. I decided to put the extra money into the Tom Tom XL for the size and name. Tom Tom is known to be a...
