Just ask your wife. She'll always tell you where to go and how to get there.








What the hell were you thinking?

In that case, save your money.

It won't help. She'll still argue with it too.

I bought her a map book but that didn't go over too well...

following the roads through the book from page to page just didn't work out real well.

I've got a Navman ICN510 that I like very much. It appears this particular model is considered "legacy" by Navman, but you can get a current model for a lot less than a Garman.

Like this one... http://tinyurl.com/qul6a

Our company had a Tom Tom that cost about $500, worked very well. It was stolen about 3 weeks ago as was the Ford 350 Van and enclosed car hauler it was pulling. it was in San Diego in a Holiday Inn parking lot. poof, it was all gone.

That was my first thought too!

Then the Garmin, I have been thinking about getting one of the Garmin for those times when the wife aint around, or when in the boat, she isn;t as confident and dont argue on the water. She gets diaorinted easily out there. Occasionally happens to me too, plus it has built in GPS Speed, so then I would have a speedo in the boat too and it would be accurate.

Yeah, but the van knows where it is.
