'portable ' gps
i know zero about gps units although there was one in a rental car we used last year [and my wife was successful in working it] . i want a unit that can move car to car with no hassle . i don't want to have to cut and solder wires when switching cars . in other words i want to say 'which car are we taking'' and grab the gps and go . is this possible ? we want one that has ''voice prompts'' for lack of a more correct term . i'd also like to know what to buy and suggestions of where to buy . lastly i'm looking at lower end of market like a couple hundred dollars , is this possible ? thanks.........peace......bc......p.s. probably be helpful to know units to avoid also ...p.p.s. KEEP IN MIND I AM TECHNOLOGICALLY "CHALLENGED"

"Garmin" has a portable unit Model #c330 for $189, that has voice prompts and is very easy to use. I bought two of them in the last year for my dad and brother in law and both liked it a lot. You just plug it into the cigarette lighter and turn it on.

i decided to look at garmin on wifes computer and now i'm really confused . i don't understand how there can be so many different models . also i didn't realize how small the screens were ,a little over 3inches diagonally . i guess the only upside is i'll never figure out how to use it when we do get one . ..thanks again for responses .
