Not intending to steal the thread, but as one who has typically used paper maps or (sometimes awful) MapQuest instructions, and has also been stuck, broken down, in the middle of nowhere at the time, I've been considering a GPS unit and a cell phone. Do the GPS units REALLY provide voice direction in time to allow you to make turns or find exits? As I don't know how Bluetooth works (is this a trademark for a particular brand, a licensed technology, or a generic term for Hands-Free?), I'm wondering If I have to buy a particular type of cell phone to get hands-free technology for in-car use. I don't presently have a cell phone, having prefered the device for emergency use only. What is the smart thing to do? Do I get a phone the plugs into a GPS unit? Do I get a phone that plugs into a stereo? Do I need a lot of accessories to get this to work? Can I get a stereo that includes the phone? Are there any GPS/Stereo/Phone All-in-one units available and are they recommended or just ridiculously expensive? I like quality and practicality. All non-profane suggestions are welcome.
