<VV> GPS recommendation

[Eric S. Eberhard]

I actually do recommend the Navigon 8100T although it is not one of 
the cheaper units.  I purchased it for my in laws for three 
reasons:  1) it's software is considered excellent and mostly it 
is   2) The screen is 4.8 inches rather than the more normal 4.3 
inches so old eyes see it better  3) the Garmins (which I like a lot) 
received a lot of flack for not having enough volume -- the Navigon 
can be set LOUD for old ears

The speedometer feature for the Corvair was a bonus and I also use it 
in other cars.  It has excellent navigation including the ability to 
get real time traffic updates (for free for the life of the unit) and 
automatically re-route you.  This worked very well in a recent trip 
to LA where I avoided several accidents.

If you never have had a GPS the technology can be overwhelming on 
even a simple GPS but my mother in law (not a techie by any means at 
over 80) was able to operate it just fine ... without a manual.

It does have a few silly software problems ... but they all do.

Good luck!

Eric
