not with a 5" screen thats worth a damn

I don't know how big the EVO is, but the screen is plenty big enough for me to see.

Plus, if you're walking around a city, and want to find out where someplace is, check your phone, then you don't have to have a GPS in your pocket.

Just get an Iphone or Android.

Ahh didn't notice the 5" is a must.

G/f had a Garmin, it was nice. Haven't used it in a few years since getting smartphones though.

I honestly didn't know with all the newer smartphones, that people still bought Navigations.

not sure if its 5" but i had the tomtom xxl and it was pretty big and easy to use.

You can get the one in the SBR store for free.

tomtom is good...i like magellan because it has address and phone numbers with it too, so it comes handy when trying to book a hotel at the last minute

thanx for all the suggestions! i agree with smartphones can be used as a GPS. as i myself have one. but its for my dad. and hes old school. he won't know how to work a smartphone. lolz. Tom Toms and Garmin i've heard are great. but any specific models? i've looked around online and most of them have the same functions but some have greater/better ratings then others. So i'm kinda at a stand off.
