Navigation: Finding your way home for the holidays

"PC Mag" has a nice article about how in-car navigation systems can help you find your way home for the holidays. They made a roundup of three devices: the Garmin nuvi 350, Garmin StreetPilot 2720 and Dual XNAV3500P.

As the holidays draw near, a familiar scenario plays itself out on highways and byways all across the country. Dad is speeding down the Interstate, in complete denial over how lost he is; Mom is holding herself back from tearing up the paper map, its tiny print almost indecipherable in a moving vehicle. The kids are cranky, and over at Grandma's house, the turkey dries out waiting for lost family members to arrive.

This season there is no need to put yourself through this painful holiday ritual. GPS In-Car Navigation Systems make it easy to plot your path from point A to point B (and any points of interest in between). They can be pricey (the devices in our roundup retail for between $900 and $1,100), but they offer numerous features, such as turn-by-turn directions to your destination of choice, and compact, portable form factors. Some can even alert you traffic jams and potential roadwork on your route and give you a way around them.
