Looking for a new GPS
Looking for a new GPS. We had an old GPS and the screen has died. Any recommendations?

Some general thoughts....
The cell-phone apps (Google Maps, etc) do -not- include things like low overhead (overpasses) and propane restrictions (tunnels, etc).
CoPilot general aps sound good, but I heard nothing good from a beta-tester of their RV version.
The Rand RV-GPS family has the best built in campground directory, but after market POI can easily over come that.
The Garmin series has a solid rep for the best user-interface, plus a good campground directory (which we supplemented with some 3rd party POIs)
The current Garmin's have an option to display the upcoming road grade.
Models with live "traffic" can be very useful in Metro areas. Mine have rerouted me around really bad traffic issues a couple times
