I'm going on a trip and looking for a GPS for the car.

the kind that points out short cuts.
You can either purchase a self contained unit like a TomTom, or just do what I did. Purchased Streets and Maps from Microsoft, it comes with a GPS to plug into your own laptop and works very well. It even have voice prompting when to turn (etc etc).
well, i have the Pioneer AVIC-N2 in my moms car. its really good. its a flip-out screen with 2 discs. if you are into that, then i would recommend any Pioneer and especially Eclipse product. otherwise, get the tomtom.
Best? Everyone has a preference. I like the TomTom Go 910 plus it has $100 rebate. It has a 20gb HD for storage of maps (It has maps installed for the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe). Then 11MB is free for audiobooks, MP3's, and pictures. It links up to your stereo, bluetooth for connection with some phones. It is a really full featured puppy. http://www.tomtom.com/products/category.php?ID=0&Language=4 Hope this qualifies for a best answer<hint>.
dude i love lowrance they rock im buying the lowrance iway 500c its kinda pricy but its worth check it out http://www.lowrance.com/automotive/Products/iWAY500C.asp
GARMIN ! They are very accurate easy to understand easy to use precision combined with ease of using. 2months ago I bought a different make and I realised its the usability that matters not theose looks or mp3.... never buy complecated ones with too much functions or those with unclear maps that u cant read while driving !
the best kind is one thats voice activated so you wont have to be pushing buttons all the time that might distract you from driving.
if you want a factory look and you have a double din then I suggest a pioneer avic-d2 i have this unit and you can add the pioneer xm tuner with nav traffic to it. this i a great unit with a lot of features
