Make sure you get “text to speech” so that it tells you the street name, instead of merely saying “turn right.”

BTW - My Garmin is great!

Bingo!

I have a Nuvi 650 that I really like.

Just got back from Colo. I took it with me and was amazed that it had most all of the back roads we drove in it.

My wife ordered it from Costco at Christmas, $299.
Saw then on sale there again a few weeks ago. Might still be. Check it out online.

From what I've read, Tom-Tom is better in Europe ( the Co. is Dutch) and Garmin in the US. Something to do with where they get their maps.

I've got a blonde headed woman that has set next to me for 30+ years. The speech function is fine, although at times it embellishes things and at other times I can't get it to stop giving directions. Sometimes it's pretty “colorful” as well.

Now ... does know where I can find a weather/vibration proof unit for my HAWG? Harley has one with its own mount ... no not going down that road with the blonde woman thing here ... but like all things Harley .. It costs you an arm and a leg Come to think of it, that blonde has cost me an arm and a leg over the years as well .....never mind.
