[AT] OT: Garmin Car GPS

[Ernie]

Al,
GPS navigation is nice, sometimes even great, but don't plan on them being
100% up to date.  I've got DeLorme in my laptop, Garmin in my vehicle and
sometimes both in the same vehicle.  More than once I've been on a major
highway that was altered a few years ago and the GPS maps are not up to
date.  I've used a Magellan with the same results.  I've had better luck
with the GPS units in cities that I'm not familiar with.

Like I said earlier they are nice but always use common sense with them.

Subject: [AT] OT: Garmin Car GPS

I'm thinking seriously about getting a GPS for my truck.  Several instances
of poor/inaccurate directions on Mapquest this summer have sort of
"convinced" me to move into the 21st century..... ;) 

I looked at a couple last night at Wal-Mart.  There was a $129 unit that
looked like about what I needed.  Is there anything I need to really look
(or watch out) for?  I don't want to spend a whole wad of cash on a tip-top
of the line model, just want to be able to find my way around....I'm not
really that brand-specific either, it's just Garmin is the brand I have
heard of the most.

thanks,
A
