Recently, during a car trip in France my son stated that on the
next car trip he was going to take a portable GPS device. I was
thinking about getting him one for Christmas but am a complete
dunce about this sort of thing. I would be interested in any
information, experiences, etc regarding
such you may have to offer. Not only which product but what about
the software, ease of use, etc. Any help appreciated. TIA, J.

A TomTom is a good one.You can reach them via www.tomtom.com

Thanks, btw I failed to mention that I live in the US.


There are US and Canadian maps available for TomTom
I have used mine in both countries.

The TomTom has in my opinion a better user interface than Garmin
and its map sets were much cheaper when I bought mine

The OP needs to learn more about his son's particular needs, and the
features available to him in his vehicle. For instance, some units have a
bluetooth feature, but that will only work if the vehicle has a bluetooth
unit.

Incorrect. My GPS has bluetooth which I use to connect to my
bluetooth enabled phone to retrieve traffic information and it acts
as a hands free unit.
