Arnie,
 
I just bought one for a trip Millie and I are taking out west, leaving 
Tuesday after Labor Day.  We will be gone all the month of September, headed to San 
Francisco via the southern route of !-40, up the West coast to Seattle, and 
back home thru Montana, etc.  Many tourist stops in between.
 
I bought a Garmin Nuvi 200.  It is a low end GPS, but very thin so you can 
put it in your pocket.  It is touch screen which I thought is a nice feature, 
filled with more information than I know what to do 
with(hospitals/food/gas/eating/motels/historic places/parks/and lots and lots more. It talks to you when 
making turns, etc.  It does not say the street name you are turning, but the 
street name/number is displayed on top screen.  Talking a name is a higher end 
feature.  It is used for streets/maps/etc., not to find specific coordinate 
locations like some use in playing games. Garmin makes one cheaper called 
StreetPilot c330 that is identical to mine, only it is much thicker, not easily put 
in your pocket. Both come with window mounts and plug in charger.  Why did I 
buy the thinner one, so I could use it walking around San Francisco. I bought 
Garmin 200 at Best Buy on sale for $300 a couple of weeks ago. 
 
I know little about them, but like mine so far. 
 
Good luck!
