    I use my Judy Garmin 760LMT. I have gotten into trouble three times since I got her. I update my maps when I should. The trouble was caused by my not believing her. She was right but I couldn't see it. I carry a map but find that they never give you address like Judy does.

    Garmin 770 LMT with voice command to all functions is helpful. Also doesn't block entire screen with lanes you should be in to transition like Rand/Cobra within 2 miles of spaghetti like ramp transitions.

    Garmin not 100% but no GPS is.

    Garmin nuvi 55. I hook it up to my computer every few weeks so it can update and keep the most recent maps. When I was driving I used a Garmin truckers GPS. A GPS is much like a birddog, know its limitations and you will be fine.

    Lol I know. At first I did the same until mine kept trying to take me down dirt roads on Hwy 97 through Oregon in a desperate attempt to get me to take I-5 to California. Plus taking me to the wrong place more than once. After that I prefer to use Google Earth to look first then make sure that my Rand McNally is taking me to the right place. ;)
