Gps

Hi,

I'm looking for a GPS deal with Lifetime Maps and Traffic. I'm pretty much a newbie with gps systems.

Pretty much looking to spend less that $120 on it. Thanks!

Do you have a smartphone? I've found that the smartphone GPS apps have surpassed a standalone GPS in terms of functionality & accuracy. I use Waze (free) and I haven't touched my Garmin in months.

If not, then I'd recommend the Garmin Nuvi 2455LMT - on sale at Amazon for $139 [amazon.com]

Thanks! I'll look into that model.

The GPS is for my parents.

Since it's for your parents, for simplicity of use, I would go with the TomTom as the display is less cluttered and on some models they offer the '3D' maps, which are easier to read too.

This is the one I have. The 'newer' one that came out after it actually has less features.

Go with a Garmin, hands down! My parents are elderly, my mom is late 50s my stepdad is 70. My stepdad has Alzheimer's and even he can work the Garmin. I got them this one http://www.walmart.com/ip/Garmin-...t/21632073 and it's been the best GPS unit and can be moved to multiple vehicles, has text to speech, emergency locator, and so many other features. Not sure if it can be had for a better price, I bought theirs at Walmart as well. I have friends and other family members who have Tom Tom's, and they all prefer this Garmin.
