Using Nexus or Galaxy 7 as Dash GPS
I can purchase a Garmin 2595, Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 at Costco for about $180. My $800 Garmin 2620 with outdated maps just died. I have used Sygic on my Vizio Tab as a Dash GPS, but the Tab...

OP Conclusion:
I bought the Garmin 2595 LMT.
Nice 5" screen form factor for both MH and Jeeps. (I use a bean bag mount.)
I can carry the GPS in my pocket for walking guidance and security when away from the car.
It responds quite well to the voice activated searchs and navigation to a location.
The traffic thingy will be useful when driving into San Francisco bay area.
I can add POI info to the unit.
We had Bus and Truck routing options on our previous Garmin. They were ok but not overly useful. So will not miss them (I hope).
Since I already have a Tablet with Sygic working on it, another tablet was not required and would be more cumbersome for day to day use in the cars.
Thanks to all for your guidance and experiences.
