Hand Held Navigation System
Who has a navigation system (hand held) that they would recommend purchasing? We are not looking for the cheapest - prefer quality. Thanks

Which in turn is what the OP is looking for and is therefore more quality of investment.
Higher price buys bells and whistles more than quality.
Its nice to see a poster looking for quality here rather than the usual, "whats the cheapest".
Garmin has an extensive array of products which would no doubt be suitable.- Will be using it on the road as we travel. Tired of wrong directions, wrong turns, getting stuck with a truck and travel trailer and trying to turn around, etc.

- What features do you want? For what kinds of activities?
The GPS receiver in a $400 unit is going to be basically the same as the $40 USB hockypuck that you can plug into a computer or tablet (or may even come built in). Handheld units have had, for a long time, a basic background map, and the ability to record tracks - a record of where you have been.
What you get with more expensive units are things like bigger screens, longer battery life, topographic maps (or ability to use ones you buy separately), map updates, etc.
