I'm kind of a luddite on this sort of thing.  But a year or more ago  
when we started looking for a place to move to, my wife quietly bought  
a Garmin to use on our trips.  She said, at least, that she got it on  
sale.  No question about it, the thing took us from place to place  
much better than I could have with any number of maps.  WIth a kid  
yammering in the back seat, and my wife freaking out cause we are late  
to meet a real estate agent, it was at least somewhat comforting to  
know we were taking the most direct route.

Our Garmin has a selection of voices. We  like the Australian man.  We  
call it Nigel.  He mis pronounces some road names but we got used to  
that.

Now the thing is telling us the database is out of date and we should  
upgrade it.  I think that might cost $75, so it's gonna wait!
