\"Garmin
\nThe Garmin N\u00fcvi series continues to impress with this 1450LMT GPS navigator with a 5-inch screen. The touchscreen is large and bright, with clear images even in sunlight. The interface is thankfully simple and user-friendly. We liked being able to program the most fuel-efficient route. Alternately, you can take this Garmin with you as you travel by bus or subway and it helps you figure out the stops. Its lane assistance comes in handy when you\u2019re facing tricky junctions; the screen\u2019s directions are easy to follow. We wish there was the option to turn down the audible beeps every time you press the screen, or to change the robotic voice, but these are just minor quibbles. The N\u00fcvi 1450LMT doesn\u2019t disappoint, and it costs $139.99.
