but I need this...
Actually I don't know the first thing about GPS's (?) but I heard Garmin was a good brand. I just want something fairly easy to use and that is going to get me from point a to point b without me having a mental breakdown. Feel free to chime in with any suggestions!

We have TomTom and I LOVE it. I was really against the purchase but now I don't know what I would do without it. I hope Santa is good to you and brings both!!!
I had a Magellan, but now Ed has it. It's pretty nice. New car has one built in.
garman's are great. we've used them on the boat for years.
I've also heard garman is a good brand. I really like your blog which i just discovered. Love the story about Kate Spade :)

Just back from a wonderful vacay with a Magellan...and LOVED IT!!! So easy to program....it quickly recalculates route~ if you take a wrong turn~provides you grocery/gas/bank/restaurant/etc.. information...it's just awesome !!! We went all over Charleston, Hilton Head, Savannah and then some it~it never steared us wrong~COMPLETELY worth the money....you'll never need mapquest or an atlas again (be sure to take charger! :) )
Thanks for everyone's 2 cents. Keep 'em coming!
P.S. I need some model #'s or something. I just looked at the Magellan and there are way too many to choose from!
Hopefully, you were good this year and perhaps both will be under the tree!;)

Hi...to get back to you on models...I believe mine is on the low end of the scale....but I swear by it....(meastro 3100??? or something) but it truly ROCKS! My mother & I were laughing numerous times because it is so freakin wonderful! We both hate directions/maps/trying to figure all that out(even with mapquest....I know ~ we are sad-we can do it...we just dont like to!!!) The magellan will verbally tell you what to be looking out for & then on turns...it gives you a ding (or you can choose what sound from the choices) when you are to turn(maybe a few seconds prior) and all you have to know is the address....we hit ever single cute shop in the area....we just kept a phone book in the car....called the places & asked for the direction & keyed it in & bam! I think some of the higher #'s in Magellen may add certain countries..which if you plan on traveling abroad...it may be useful. if your looking for a grocery store or gas or bank you just choose it on the screen & it gives you a list to choose from (in the area that your in) and you just touch screen the one you want...and it takes you there.....LOVE IT! So I hope this helps..if you have any other questions-just email me....and I'm glad to see that you are still treating us with goodies this week~nice surprize! :) (you dont have to publish this-i just kind of wanted to give you a feel for the magellan....as prior to this one...I didnt have a clue how they operated....now I would not go on a trip without it...you will love it..once you decide which one...or whichever one Santa brings you.... :) let me know if there is anything else that you would like to know~
