GPS

My RVND 7725 needs replaced. I like the Rand McNally type but there are a couple out there to choose from. Anyone have any advise?

The GPS won't update the maps on its own, you have to download them to the GPS and to the computer if you use BaseCamp.

Garmin updates its maps up to four times a year. Download Garmin Express onto your PC and connect your Garmin. You will be told if you need to update your maps and software. It will do all your needed updates. I check it every month or two.
