Best bang for the buck GPS ?

Any suggestions on the best GPS would be appreciated. My only two must haves is lifetime map updates and decent volume.
Thanks!

After many years of GPS experience, I only buy Garmin GPS units. Reliable, durable, competitive price/feature ratio, and excellent warranty service should something malfunction.

Volume? I don't believe any of mine have sound.

Are you talking about a GPS for driving? Lincolns have a pretty nice GPS built right into the dash.

Yeah, a Garmin Nuvo w/lifetime maps and streets. Cost about $65 if you look around!

I will second the Garmins. I used a Nuvi 750 for years and upgraded about a year and a half ago to a Nuvi 3590 LMT. I love the new 3590. It has a 5" screen, lifetime map updates, live traffic updates that have helped me avoid accidents on the highway. You can download extras. I actually have my voice as Yoda. Sounds dumb but it makes me laugh when I am out on the road. It is a super unit. The face is capacitive glass instead of the plastic faces. Good stuff.

I picked up a Garmin Nuvi 40 from Staples on clearance last week for $48. Might want to check out your local Staples.

It's awesome. The 40 lacks traffic, but I don't care as that stuff is usually behind anyways. If you need a simple navi unit that will get you where you want to go, it's hard to beat a Garmin, especially on clearance haha.
