Default Best GPS for 62 yr old mom, +/- $200?

Anybody have thoughts on a good GPS that I can buy for my mom? Trying to stay right at $200.

I think the biggest features for her are wide ( 4" widescreen ) and spoken street name direction.

With black Friday around the corner, I'm looking for the sweet deal for a good price.

Maybe wait until Monday??? I forgot what they call that day, but it is supposed to be the biggest internet shopping day of the year?

thanks..........

Jestmaty

I've found Garmin to be the easiest to use, and Costco is running a great deal on the nuvi 750 right now. $199.99 after $100 off. It has the wide screen, and voice guidance.

LSS........(Long story short)....

Got a Magellan 1412 Roadmate for $148 at Wal-Mart, at 6am Friday.

Stopped by Pep-boys to see the Garmin Nuvi 255W. Was priced at $199 in their flyer... rang up at $185 and I had a $10 off coupon to use on top of the price. Net = $175 for the Nuvi.

Which one do you think I should keep?








Just kidding! I already returned the Magellan and kept the Garmin. It was a very highly rated Best buy in Consumer Reports.

Oh... and my mom changed her mind. She needs carpet for her house and I'm just gonna add some $$ to that fund instead of a 'gift'. The GPS is for ME now !

We're going to take a drive to Ruidoso, New Mexico over Xmas vacation and the Gps will be fun to use. The Pilot will see snow for the first time.
