    Default Looking For GPS for mum.

    Hi All,

    Just wondering if anyone had any tips on buying a GPS for my mum for christmas. Looking at around the $150 - $200 mark.

    She isnt that old but still needs glasses to read and is not all that tech savvy.

    What is a good GPS to buy for someone in this bracket.

    Porbably with bluetooth, a largish screen and very user friendly?

    I have never looked into these and have nly ever used a "legit" iGO on my htc.

    I never really found it that hard to use, but i wasnt paying attention to the detail i went into when i was using it.

    Thoughts?

    I would also say Tomtom. My missus is a techno retard as are a few friends, give them iGo and they get lost but somehow understand Tomtom.
