I am looking for ideas and yes for road travel. When my wife (holding the map upside down) is co-pilot and the veins in my head are sticking out.....you get the idea why I am asking the experts in the room here. My concern is a display big enough to see and safely operate the vehicle.

as far as GPS goes. Garmin is rated top of the line. i work for an ambulance company and we use them at work. they are also 100% portable. they work by suction and are powered by a simple cigarette lighter.

[QUOTE=Maxium4x4]I'm going to ask the group
GPS
Portable
Big enough so I can see it. Ya I'm getting old and my fingers are big.....
If I can plug it in between vehicles would be nice, I suppose they make wrist watch devices by now but I can't see without my reading glasses. My current system is out dated......the wife with a map screaming at me to turn left....QUOTE] I just bought a Garmin Streetpilot c330. it works great and is portable just plug and play. it is very accurate. and you can down load upgrades on it ftom your computer. the best thing i like about it is that it tells you that you have a turn comming up 2 miles ahead of time. so you have time to change lanes if needed. well just my 2 cent's worth

I'll second the recommendations for the Garmin 2610. I've used this one for over a year in my truck, car and on my Honda Goldwing motorcycle. Stayed away from he 2620 as it has an internal hard drive which is not recommended for motorcycle use -- too much vibration. Plus, I like the ability to create routes on my computer and then download the routes to the GPS. The 2610 suites me fine and I'm 100% satisfied with this unit. Is it the best? Don't know as each person has their own needs, but for me I wouldn't trade it.

When it's all said and done, the wife can put down the map and watch a DVD on one screen while I get to see the GPS and vehicle diagnostics on the dash screen and everyone's happy.
