looking for a new laptop gps anyone?
I was going to look for a new laptop and get off the tablet I mostly use now, Going full time in the near future makes keeping the desktop unit impractical. With Amazon, Bestbuy and Helmart all hold...

I know my setup is somewhat complicated, but when I started fulltiming in 2006 (before the day of smartphone and GPS in TVs) it was very simple. My children say I am "crazy" and they use Google Maps and smart phones for all their GPS.
Your grandchildren are right. :)
I keep my 5th generation Garmin around but seldom use it. I use Google Maps on my android phone attached to the dash with Velcro for almost all navigation. I find the user interface on Google Maps way more user friendly and it finds destinations easier. Google also seems to have way more timely traffic info.
My recently purchased car has android auto and puts Google Maps on the vehicles 8" video screen.
So, my only need for Garmin is in our RV when we are out of cell phone range which is rare.
Oh, and by the way, I have grandchildren and great grandchildren so I could be in the old geezer category.
