Be careful with this one because it's somewhat fragile. We dropped our first one and cracked the screen. The neat thing about the GARMIN is that...

I've recently begun a sales job which requires constant use of a gps. My first was a tom tom model that continuously told me to go left...while i was on the freeway.
