child at Best Buy recommended the Rand Mcnally as he thought the map

was better and the satellite receivers equivalent between the two.
Chuck: There is a superb system out there from Sony/Etak for about $200
(with rebates - at available at Compusa). I'll post a thorough review of it
in a couple of weeks or so. I have used it for about 5000 miles. I also
just purchased a copy of the Delorme software so that I can properly
compare the systems. The Sony comes with GPS, vector based maps, remote
control device, headset for receiving voice prompts and for giving voice
commands to the system (which is a real plus when you don't have a
navigator with you).
