    First off please don't give me the "Use the OLD TIME WAY", a Rand McNally. I do use one of those.

    However I would like to get opinions on what you as Drivers that use a GPS think is a Good One.

    Thanks
    Ed

    most of them will log your mileage per state. I think that could be really handy.

    Umm there is a forum on here that covers it. The electronics one. However, I like the routing of my garmin, but the features of the rand mcnally. I went with the garmin though.

    I have the Rand 710. With all the details on the screen I can not imagine trying to read a 5 inch screen bouncing down the roads. Or trying to hit the tiny little buttons...

    But I wish they had beefed up the hardware. It seems to struggle some times.
