This device is truly a gift! My fiance' (a typical man) will not ask for directions under any circumstances. This little device eliminates much frustration when traveling - whether around town or long distances. Simply enter the address of your destination & voice prompts direct you there. If one happens to make a wrong turn, it immediately re-calculates and gives you new directions. Definitely a must-have!

Garmin - StreetPilot c340 is recommended by boopster1031
The StreetPilot c340 provides in-car navigation that is simple for anyone to use directly out of the box. After selecting a destination from the user-friendly touch screen interface, Garmin's text-to-speech feature tells users the name of the street, when to turn, and in what direction. If you miss your turn, the c340 automatically calculates a new route to the destination. Notification of traffic delays is a c340 option that lets drivers see congested areas via a color-coded map. This feature lets users avoid traffic by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route. This traffic awareness is made possible via the new Garmin GTM 10 FM TMC receiver that connects to selected Garmin street navigation products. The GTM 10 receives digital data from specific FM broadcast stations in select major metro areas throughout the United States and Europe.
