MuddyButt Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I am looking for a GPS that will work with my android phone or a portable GPS that is super easy to use. It must have verbal directions as my parents are struggling with seeing digital devices. Any help is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 What is the intended use of the portable GPS? Auto Nav? Hiking? Geocaching? --Marky Quote Link to comment

My parents love to geocache! Due to age they are struggling with the gps they have. They need one that will tell them where to go. Quote Link to comment

You can get all sorts of GPS units that will give spoken directions when driving but when geocaching you have to follow the arrow. I don't think there's a device in the world that will tell them "left a bit, right a bit, go forward ten paces and look under the rock". Quote Link to comment
