Hi, anyone on here have one ? Any suggestions on which to buy or not to buy ? If I buy one here in Riyadh can it be used in other countries too ? Any advise greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I have a Garmin unit which works well. You can get different maps for most of the world and the unit is portable. I need it cause I can get lost on a straight road!

No idea about any of the others though.

What does the "G" stand for in GPS?

If only there was like a book we could buy with all the major roads listed in it with maps....

Well obviously I have the little book thingy, but it gets very very complicated when I have to turn them upside down and stuff to work out where we have to go, plus it's very very dangerous to drive while reading a book . . . So I now want a little computerised voice telling me where to go - means I don't have to take my husband out with me anymore . . . . Or call him to say "I'm at point X and want to get to point Y which way do I go ?"

OK, so maybe asking if they work globally when they have global in the title is a bit blonde . . . duh!

You think I'd be laughing at you for that after admiting you have to turn the map to understand where you are going?

You mean you don't ? Gosh, you must be ever so clever . . . .

Might be that, but I doubt it .

We have a garmin and after trying a friends Tomtom today I'm sticking with Garmin as seems a lot clearer in Sunlight with Shades on and I would say Garmin is easier to use. You can get more voices for Tomtom than Garmin though.

OK, thanks for that guys - will see what is available out here and then might be back . . . .
