GPS as a gift

[Wingboy]

Going to get my daughter a gps for her b'day.Radioworld has the Nuvi 40LM for $160.Looks good to me.Any feedback?

How bigs the screen? I bought a 5" garmin the other day at Walmart for 170$, good value.

I had a TomTom given to me (wouldnt have been my choice but it was a gift). It works nicely and it has a lifetime map upgrade (could be worth $100 ????). I have seen the same model I have for around $100.

The "LM" means that it has the lifetime free map upgrades, which is a good thing. I have the Garmin 465WT in my big truck and it has saved my arse more than a few times driving in unfamiliar cities at night, but if I want a map update it costs me $89 each time..

Nope, have to pay every time I want an upgrade. And it's actually a 265WT, not the 465WT, the 465 is the next one I'll be getting as it is more truck specific in nature.
