[BC] GPS recommendations

[Martin Acuff]

The choice is highly dependent upon your desired application(s) and your budget. 

For example, I have a handheld Garmin GPSMap 60CSx (now discontinued) that I use in the car, on bicycle, and hiking.  It doesn't have voice prompts (just beeps), and a relatively small screen.

It serves my purposes very well, but it drives my girlfriend crazy. 

Her GPS (also Garmin; I don't recall the model) is intended for car use only, has voice prompts, live traffic information, and a large screen.  This type is best for her.

I believe both units provide choice of Datum (e.g., NAD 27) and units. 

Consumer Reports reviews a number of different GPS types regularly.  Happy hunting.
