When I first moved to Phoenix 20 years ago, I really don’t know how I ever figured out where I was going. I couldn’t visit Google Maps before my trip to print out directions. If I got lost along the way, I couldn’t use a cel phone to call and get help. And I definitely couldn’t use a GPS to lead the way.
In the last few years, my cel phone has really helped. I’ve also lost count of how many maps I’ve printed over the years. Yet it was the recent purchase of a GPS that is really enlightening for me. Even the most remote locations can quickly be found. I did some searching and went with the Garmin nuvi 1490T due to its beautiful screen. I even got lucky and got a smoking deal thanks a Black Friday sale. After using it for a couple of weeks, I love it. If you can live with a slightly smaller screen, check out the Garmin nuvi 260W as it cost significantly less money. Regardless of which model you choose, you will be thrilled to having someone who directs you right to your destination.
The Garmin G60 Is the best “ROAD Phone” I have seen. If you travel a lot or work on the road this thing is great. Its not a phone with GPS but a GPS with a phone and internet. Not the best if you text nut but for function as a driver it works very well. It is designed to be operated with one thumb. 3 main functions with 3 big icons to take you there.
