So my mom surprised me with a nice little tom tom one.
I've never heard of it, But the first thing I checked was for longitude and lattitude ability, and it has it, so im freakin stoked...

My mom's got one of those. I like it, but the voice navigation on the freeway is annoying. You can also get different voices for it and stuff. I also didn't like the responsiveness of the touch screen. It just seems like you have to push it too hard to get it to go sometimes.

All in all, though, I think it's a nice unit to have for road trips, or for the navigationally challenged.

I dont like the voice navi on any of the gps' I have ever used, so playing around with it here in the living room that was the first thing to go off.

Im not navigationally challanged but I do enjoy having one of these in the truck for long trips.
And I know the Long/ Latt problably wont be the best ever for navigation in the back country, but I think it will be ok for getting me near where I need to be...Or maybe very lost...lol we will see...
