the budget i have in mind is $150 or under - i would like something simple but accurate and if it does not have some streets then i could go to a website and download an update - i will be using it in my truck to make service calls
i have found the Garmin GPS systems affordable and great
i have one for my car and it is able to show you the route, directions, highlights the path, and some even show traffic.
Also the Garmin can work in Canada and Europe just if you were wondering.
It is really good and touch screen works great.
I love the feature where it speaks to you and tells you the directions because it helps keep your eyes on the road
Hope this helps
