computer literate, not rich
I got this unit on sale at Bestbuy for my wife as she works in an industry that requires her to drive a lot and to many various locations. She swears by this GPS and even gave it a name because as she says it has "never let her down before". This system does not have text to speech, but at the price point you shouldn't expect it to. The one problem is the price of maps purchased from Garmin. They are insanely expensive so make sure you buy a GPS with maps pre-loaded and you won't be disappointed.
