Whats a good gps system for a long trip?

Garmin and Tom Tom both make excellent GPS units that you can buy for under $200. Go to their web sights and look at the options then pick one or two that fit your needs. I found that Car Toys has very reasonable prices for decent units.

I would suggest Garmin nuvi 1450LMT 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator • Sunlight-readable, 5-inch backlit TFT color touchscreen display • Preloaded with City Navigator NT data for the lower 48 states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, with nearly six million points of interest • Free lifetime map and traffic updates for the most up-to-date maps, POIs, and navigation info http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZX8B2S?ie=UTF8&tag=gps.navigators-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003ZX8B2S

Garmin is good, reliable, easy to use and update. Tom Tom is too heat sensitive to take into TX for the summer (ive had two of these fail due to heat in OKLA and its only hotter in TX). You can easily find a great unit for under $200. Good luck.

I like garmin systems alot amazon has a few so you can compare http://www.amazon.ca/Garmin-1390T-Widescreen-Bluetooth-Traffic/dp/B001U0O7RG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1309244580&sr=1-1 or you could go to garmins website

try finding a jensen "touch and go" they are cheap, easy to use, and have very nice features. we use to sell this but gps sales didnt really work for us so we stopped selling it all together, but when we did sell gps the touch and go was a lot better than tom tom and garmin. http://www.amazon.com/Jensen-NVX225-NVX-225-Sport-GPS/product-reviews/B000OYLCNQ/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
