<VV> GPS's (no corvair)

[Jason Cesana]

I also have a Garmin Nuvi but it is a 200iw (wide screen). I used it to
figure out that my speedo was 10mph FASTER than I was actually going (I
wondered why people on 95 were giving me dirty looks when I was going 65!).
I have not had many problems with it. Do not expect it to be updated with
changes free or fast. RT 195 here in Providence RI has been moved over for
almost a year now and it still shows me "driving" on water when I go over
the new bridge! I call that the "Jesus on water maneuver"!

     The Garmin Nuvi 255W was very highly recommended to me, and I'd like to
pass the same on to you.  We bought one for my father 2 months ago and loved
it so much we went out and got another for me.  The unit is very easy to use
and has the latest technology.. so it works very well.  This is considered
an "entry level" unit but it is very good.

    You can purchase a Nuvi 255w for about $150.00 if you shop around or 
wait for a sale...   here it is for $151.17 on Amazon.com...
