Re: Car GPS Systems
My job is designing navigation radios for cars (comes with car, not aftermarket) and I would still never go anywhere without my Atlas. I use it more than the nav unit when i'm in the test cars (unless i'm actually testing). Reason is because I can't see the "big picture" on the 7" screens as well as habit, but the nav can be very useful for various things.
Nonetheless, I second the motion for Garmin, they make some decent stuff.
If you haven't already, I suggest you check the online consumer reports and forums that have reviews of electronic products. They're pretty helpful, as well as going in to use them in the stores (if available). User interface and preference will be somewhat important for something like this. Also depends on what size and functionalities you want.
