I'm looking for a GPS for a second vehicle. I'd like to know what type of aftermarket GPS you like and why. I'm not talking about a OE factory installed unit, but one that you buy at a store somewhere. I currently use a Garmin in my work truck, and I also use a Garmin 50LM in my TV. I've only used Garmin so I'm very use to them and like how easy they are to operate. I'm looking to buy a used one, so I'm kind of at the mercy of what others are trying to get rid of. Right now on the local sale boards, I can't really find what I'm looking for in the price range that I want. So what do people think of TomTom and Magellan and ones like that. Give me model numbers and likes and dislikes. Do they have free map updates? Does it talk forever when giving a hwy/ramp exit number. My son's phone GPS is like that. It talks so long that you forget where it said to make the turn. I want one for our 2nd vehicle. My youngest daughter has just started to drive, and I want her to be able to find her way home when she's out and about. She can get from home to her work. She can get from home to Grandma's house. She can't get from Grandma's to work. Thats the problem for when we leave town to go camping and she has to stay in town to go to work this summer.
