[gps-talkusers] Re: GPS Recommendation for a Sighted Person

I bought one of those for my wife, and she loves it. The display is very easy 
to read, even for someone with low vision, and it is extremely portable, and 
easy to move from car to car, or even to use on a bicycle, motorcycle, or as a 
pedestrian.

Hi,
have you seen the garmin nuvi?
the following is a quote from amazon.com Product Description Product Description
   The nÜvi is a portable GPS navigator, traveler's reference, and digital 
entertainment system, all in one.
I'm sure you could find much better discriptions on the net though.
Hope this helps.
Chris
