All GPS systems get their information from government owned satellites, so accuracy is a moot point. The features built into the GPS system, such as route redirection, traffic update, Points of Interest, etc is what you're actually weighing. Good Luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> I live in nyc and own a TomTom — i find it to be fairly accurate.

Do you have a friend you could borrow one from? Consider renting a car and getting the satellite thing with it. But, consider this: you may already have almost everything you need. Many cell phones are satellite friendly. Most directions sites (I use mapquest.com) have an application you can download to your phone, and then 'send' your phone the directions from mapquest. Voila! It now has the capability to adjust for you on the fly. Goto your directional website of choice and see what hardware they support. (If they don't support your model of phone, try another site) A seasoned traveler with a decent directional ability, I get my directions from the site, and used to print them. Now, I just save the web page to my laptop (usually the printer friendly version) and have it open on the seat next to me. Drive safe!<br><b>References : </b><br> If you only need it short term, you have a number of options. Do you have a friend you could borrow one from?

With that said, Garmin currently is the most popular GPS model in NA, selling about 55% of all PND GPS sold in NA. If price is no an issue, try the Garmin Nuvi 880 which is currently Garmin top of the line PND model. If you wish to save a few bucks, try the Garmin Nuvi 760 which is an excellent choice. Don't buy EOL stuff since you will want to have a model that is supported for a while. If you feel Garmin is not for you, consider the TomTom 930 or the Magellan Maestro 4250 or 4050. You can also consider buying the NOH Garmin Nuvi 760 for only $329 from Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc that includes the Garmin factory ONE year factory warranty, the unit comes with pretty much everything you will need on a GPS device or if you are worry about cost but wish to have a portable GPS that includes TTS, try the Magellan RoadMate 2200T NOH for only $119.00 again from Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc. It maybe easier for you to rent these GPS first from GPS4Rent to test drive each unit to make sure the unit will function to your expectation before committing to one. You can find all the models I have described here on Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc website at http://www.autonav2000.com/default.asp or you can visit GPS4Rent and rent one. To find out more about the rental program click on this link http://www.gps4rent.com/ You can't really go wrong with any of the TOP THREE GPS manufacturers Garmin, TomTom and Magellan.

I haven't had any problems and it's simple to operate. Takes you right to the door of an address every time! Highly recommend it! Not all GPS are the same as previously claimed! They are comparable to cell phones that drop calls. Some are much worst than others and it isn't always an easy fix. I have NEVER experienced it with my Magellan 760 or the 500 I previously had! They also are easy to update and you can also add your own information! I would purchase it on line as they are much cheaper there than retail stores such as Best Buy or whatever.<br><b>References : </b><br> I have the Magellan 760 Roadmate and it's great!

I looked at every single brand you can imagine, from the most expensive $700+ units to the lower end brands. I finally settled on GPS for dummies. Now I know it is not as popular as the others but I'm telling you it gets the job done every time & I am someone that is terrible with directions. I've never gotten lost and I've driven to places that I've never been before on my own. Something I don't think I would have had the confidence to do beforehand. If you're not a label whore I'd definitely look into it.<br><b>References : </b><br>www.hsn.com www.amazon.com Months back I was having the same dilemma.

Currently Magellan map updates for MRM 2000, MRM 2200T and CrossoverGPS are all done with a new SD card. I would guess the MRM 1412 would be the same. The updating on the Magellan website is normally for firmware updates to fix issues and bugs, those are free for you to update, but the actual map update will cost you around $79 per copy. You can also buy your Magellan update from Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc. www.autonav2000.com They are the only company besides Magellan that are authorized to update Magellan GPS products.<br><b>References : </b><br> Most map updates are provided to you on a DVD, but these days with the lower price of the SD card, most GPS manufacturers is finding out is cheaper to pre-load the map updates on an SD card and just make it plug and play.
