    We just got the cheapest TomTom they sell and took a trip North to Maine to see my Daughter. This little unit did a great job keeping us on track. Also kept us away from the cities. If we traveled a lot we would have looked into a more expensive one.

    No, they are travel books; example: Hidden Arizona

    The GPS can be useful in finding the places, however, once you know the address...

    What he said. Twice.

    Pete, the Hidden series is wonderful because they highlight stuff you'd never find in a typical travel guide...things that the locals and other travelers recommend.

    We got a $99 deal on a top of the line TomTom and we've really liked it a LOT!!!! Had it about 6 months now and still like it even today.
    Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,
