GPS System

zerocool85 SG

Anybody ard here has knowledge on GPS ?

Want to get a system with like 7" screen? big and clear display for my mum as her eyesight not very good..

honeymouse SG

Tom Tom is not bad, though the screen is only 4".

I don't think you need such a big screen since you're not really going to look at it constantly. It will tell you when you need to turn etc....

or siemens vdo dayton..

zerocool85 SG

yeah.. but my mum will need to actually see and tap for the location or POI when she wants to use the GPS ma..

honeymouse SG

Still it's not that small. The icon is quite big. I actually own a TomTom GPS and I find it really useful and quite user-friendly too.

You can also have a look at Navman. It might have bigger screen but it might not be as user-friendly as TomTom.
