I'm thinking of getting a GPS for my wife. She is NOT a technology buff and
it needs to be pretty simple to operate...she just isn't patient enough to
deal with a complex one. I have a SP2720, but it does a lot more than she
wants to deal with. I've been looking at the info for the Nuvi 1200, and it
might be the answer. It definately needs to have text-to-speech for the
street names. Any suggestions?????????

For complex things, she has you! I think most of the NUVI models are
simple to operate, but could be a challenge for things like adding
favorites. She tells you where she wants to go, and you tell the GPS.

be plugged in or having a satelite reception, look up the address,
select it and switch off the nuvi again.
Then my wife hooks up the nuvi in the car and only have to look at
'recently found' to select the address that I found earlier and press
go. This procedure needs the minimum of selecting when in the car.

A nuvi would be fine. I have the same situation here. My wife wants to

Drive her a long way from home, if she can find her way home, then she donīt
need a GPS.
