Which brand of portable GPS system is best?

well there are the "big" 3; u got "TOM TOM" Garmin"Magellan". there's all the rest,lol. from wht i've experience w/ customers'; everybody knows about tomtom; but my opinion, when it comes to which 1; go w/ wht wrks for u. for ur husband; does he have vision issues? well then a widescreen model would be easier on his eyes. i recommend tht u get him 1 tht has "txt-2-speech". these r the 1's tht tell u the st names, not jus tht ur turn is comin-up in 500ft; lol. all-in-all this a good time 2 get into gps; there all on sale for the season, so w/ a little homewrk u can make out like a bandit. theres built-in functions like "bluetooth, music playr, pic viewr; and theres extras, like live traffic, roadside asst; tht u have 2 pay for. they all can do maps for other loaltions; some come w/ other maps already loaded. they will run u bout $100-$150 for addition maps. there r some gps uit tht have voice command; like some magellans' can do this. u say the magic wrd and u can do some basic commands like; reroute, or take a detour; or find a gas station. 1 thing i strongly reccommend u do is register ur purchase at the manufacturs' website. u get bout 6mnths to 1yr of free map updates. cause it runns u bout; again $100-$150 to buy new maps. i left a link to cnet pg w/ some good info and links. i hope this helps.

I would say Garmin by a small margin. Also look at TomTom they are very good too . Those are the top 3 brands. I have TomTom One and it works fine and is not very expensive.I would personally stay with a top brand , the off brand may or may not be reliable.

Cada vez que he necesitado un GPS para una actividad en especial me lo he comprado de sitios cyber web y siempre he acertado. Cuando decidimos hacer una excursión a l. a. montaña he comprado un GPS especial para esto, l. a. entrega ha sido en el plazo cosa muy buena y el GPS lo he utilizado desde el segundo día, una compra muy buena porque el GPS es de gran ayuda, te enseña exactamente los opciones de camino y puedes visualizar antes el camino que has elegido, una buena compra de un buen producto.

Siempre he confiados en los GPS que he comprado aquí, la ultima vez he comprado un GPS para ponerlo en la bici, además de una buena entrega el producto cumple mis expectativas, un GPS interesante que además de su función, que esta perfecta , tiene también pulsometro, una compra muy buena.
