I've been a Garmin fan for many years. Latest NUVI's are very easy to use; bought one for my wife and she loves it! But note that some models do not interface with PC's. My wife's NUVI is great for plugging in a single address and driving to it. Plus the touch-screen is nice size and easy to use. However, my Garmin QuestII, tough smaller screen and menu-driven, is able to interface with my PC (using software that came with it; MapSource). I can design routes and waypoints on the PC and then download them to the GPS. Worked great for our 2-week Western driving adventure last year (in a rented minivan) over 2400+ miles. Each day was a separate saved route, and we never got lost.
If you plan to use the GPS a lot, and would like to easily design & save routes, look for a PC-compatible model.
