GPS for Dad.

My mum wants to get my Dad a GPS for Christmas.
Now, heres the thing.
They live in Spain, are both over 70, just, and he's not the most technically minded person. Thats not to say he's stupid, he just doesnt do computers etc.

So, what I think he needs is a GPS with the whole of Europe ( or at least the France Spain corridor ) in it that he can use both at home and here when they drive over.

I'd probably do all the updates for him, so that shouldnt be an issue, it just has to easy to use. I have 2610 and an IQue that I love but think they'd be overkill for him.

Oh, and the cost has got to be right too, don't forget,me poor ole Mum's a pensioner.

Any suggestions would be greatfully received.

Thanks all.

GPS Tomtom

Get a TomTom one. They are bullet proof and only about £160 with europe on. Very easy to use.
