This one has really caught my eye. It has all the same features as a lot of the more higher priced units but at a cheaper price. I also liked that it has the ability to switch between RV use or regular car use. One thing I have seen in reviews on this one is that people have had some trouble updating the maps through the included software. Was just wondering if you have ever had a problem with yours?

Like a lot of you I have always been a map guy and that is how I was taught and still to this day sit down with a road atlas and plan my route weeks before we actually leave. The internet has help with trip routing thanks to sites like Goolge maps, Map Quest, Good Sam's, etc. and a great site called Safe Travel USA.

I appreciate all of your comments and will probably be looking into a GPS in the coming months. I would love to have something before we start our summer travels.
