   I have a garmin nuvi 200.
   It was cheaper then some of the high end GPS units but it has a few things i wanted..

   software updates! update maps and content via a usb and pc interface.
   big screen, clear and easy to read.
   portable able to move it to other cars or walk around with it and not worry.

   You’ll probably want something with live traffic updates.

   Garmin, Magellan and Tom Tom are the top 3 brands. The rest are kinda iffy on reliability and quality.

   A few things that you might want to consider – Ease of Use, Features, fast response or reception. I always encourage people to do some research and read the product reviews before deciding which brand or model to buy. I changed my old Garmin to Garmin nuvi 780 early this year and i am very satisfied with it performance. The large LCD screen, fast acquisition of the satellite signal, easy to operate and most importantly it is very handy – thin and light, i can keep it in my pocket without worry about a carrying case. Check out this website of my friend to find out the product details and reviews. http://www.101allyouneed.com/vehicle-gps/

   you will need to make sure it has a car charger for when you drive.
   an internal battery for when your walking.
   make sure it has a car holder, so that you can see it when you are driving.
   make sure it has an internal sd card. most do not have this.
   make sure it is preloaded with maps and software.
   there are tons of softwares: iguidance, igo, amigo, garmin, tomtom

   look for one that has text to speech. this means it will talk like a human and announce street and highway names
