My parents (mid-70s) came to visit and in conversation dropped how they were thinking of getting a portable GPS for their car. Knowing I own about 46 GPS receivers (OK, three) they asked my opinion. Ah HAH! Finally, an opportunity to give them a Christmas gift they want.
So if anyone has an opinion about an auto GPS unit I'm all ears. I have a preconceived idea, but I want to hear others. Desireable attributes are:
1) Full road database, down to residential streets.
2) Enter a destination address and get turn by turn.
3) Big(ish) screen for old folks eyes.
4) Easy interface that even Luddites can work.
5) IFR approved. Oops! NOT!
6) Extra points for voice prompts.
7) Extra points for gas station/restaurant data.
