Default Yes.

GPS V by Garmin. Its titz.

One negative: small screen.

Positives: does everything you can imagine and then some. (it will turn you into a hopeless gadget geek)

That or the GPS V... I have both, and each has it's benefits. The V is a better (smaller) fit.

Default Have it. It's great. My wife and I call it "Betty" cause it talks

We use the "bean bag" support to lay it on the dash shelf...and it doesn't move. The danger - you don't "really" know where you are, 'cause you just turn left, right, etc. as "Betty" instructs.

Default Yes, it is.. but the V has a very good layout. Personally, I use the V more... but if you like/need

voice... You can't beat the III. Both have very simlar features, with the III having a little better interface regarding the selection of locations. It will limit the choices for the next character by what it has for choices. You really should go look at them both. Then you can know. I would go for the V for the money. Ecost.com used to carry them the cheapest.
