Peter, go up on www.qvc .com do a search for gps's and they usually have a cobra unit up there. I think there are several models of this and the great thing is that the unit is very portable.
Hope this helps. Mary Ellen Earls----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Scialli" <shrink99@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,I'm thinking about getting a portable GPS unit for someone sighted. It should have turn by turn directions. Synthetic speech for street names would be nice, but is not essential. It should have quick acquisition time. I've seen a Magellan unit that takes a really long time to acquire the position. Also, I'd like it to come with the whole U.S. maps and POIs built in. It should also have a battery so it can be used handheld or if the power source in the car is temporarily unavailable. Any suggestions?Peter
