I don't need navigation, only occasionally to know where I am.

Micky, GPSs can't work miracles.


If the GPS map on new radios isn't a lot better than what I have, I'd
rather save a couple hundred dollars and get a radio withou it.

There are a confusing number of models but you can get a Garmin Nuvi for
less than $100 with lifetime map updates. The updates are done with
wifi. The ones with real time traffic updates are more expensive and
may not be useful depending on where you live.


That's why I use my Android cell phone and Google Maps. It has live
updating of the traffic conditions ahead, shows yellow or red on sections
of roads with slow traffic and offers alternatives to go around, if it
makes sense. It's great for walking directions in cities too. And no
need to buy anything else, it's in even the cheap phones.
