What Is The Best Car Gps For My Grandparents?

Posted on 05 January 2010

I am looking to buy my grandparents (late 60’s) a gps for their car and was wondering what is the most user friendly for them. I would like it to have text to speech and some POI. I don’t want to go over 200 for it and would like any additional information on it, such as how it is charged etc.. thanks!

    Most GPS’s from Garmin, TomTom, or Magellan should be user-friendly enough. Personally, I like the Garmin Nuvi 255W. The “W” means that it has a larger 4.3″ screen rather than the standard little 3.5″ one. The 255W also has “text to speech” that allows the voice directions to include street names. Maps are preloaded and you just basically plug it in and go. It charges from the vehicle adapter and best of all, the GPS store sells it for under $200.http://www.thegpsstore.com/Garmin-Nuvi-2…

    Garmin is a best gps system and popular gps, Garmin has a simple controls - simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, has a turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D or 3-D maps and more feature.
    I suggestion a Garmin nuvi model is a 255W, 760 (Popular GPS).
    255W: same as 205W but has text-to-speech (you get turn by turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. “turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way”, rather than merely “turn left in 50 feet”)), 4.3-Inch diagonal touch screen color display, etc.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015EW…
    760 : has text-to-speech, 4.3-Inch diagonal touch screen color display, Bluetooth, etc.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UX9…
