I almost got an in-built GPS system in our cars, but couldn't justify it since we know every road in Madison.

With a move to California, I thought it would be good to get a GPS for the car, mainly to empower my wife (I have an OK idea of the place since I have been there so often).

I have been really disappointed with the systems out there. I checked out the TomTom 9100, the Garmin line, etc and they all seemed so small, and the attachment systems were flimsy.

Now, I am not sure what to do. Maybe I just get my wife a nice new phone that has GPS built in (still small)?

If anyone has a good experience with portable GPS systems in their car definitely let me know!
