I have a Garmin nuvi 255W. It pretty much does what I want to, because I don't have a daily commute, I live in a suburban area, and the traffic is light for the most part. I do travel occasionally for vacations, but that's it. A voice model and the POI's are most valuable to me.
I've been running across POI's that Garmin doesn't even show a street for. My maps are over two years old. Garmin wants $80 for an update. Well, that's not going to happen. What do you suggest as a good replacement that will get me free updates? It doesn't need to be fancy, and it doesn't have to be another Garmin.
Garmin 13xxLMT or 14xxLMT
I have 1490MT, works well, price is coming down quickly as well.
If you don't need a big screen, 13xx works as well.
Be sure to get the "LMT" model so you get lifetime map right out of the box.
