Howdy All,
and thanks for the input. I do not have a smart phone of any flavor (AT&T GoPhone plan with Samsung Rugby flip). I have a few inexpensive, older Android tablets, but none of them are GPS enabled. I do not currently own anything Apple branded.
I do like the two TomTom GPS units we currently own. The VIA model has better lane guidance, but due to a SNAFU with having two separate accounts I lost the Lifetime Maps Update feature about a year ago. It still seems pretty accurate though, and if there is any question we just grab the other one which is updated quarterly. I also have the built-in GPS in our Wrangler Sahara, but the Magellan updates for that are more than what I could buy a new TomTom with lifetime updates for. So, that one hasn't changed since 2012. For our older Jeep Wrangler (YJ) I have an old (really old) Magellan Roadmate 2000. It has the best offroad navigation features I have found - it shows direction and distance to the nearest road or cross road.
