BestBuy - Free GPS "Set-Up"
I'll say it right off, I am not a big fan of BestBuy, with the illusion of low prices, they suck people in. On a typical GPS, when you take a look at online prices, you can usually beat them by a tank of gas worth of money. At today's prices, that's saying something! What galls me the most is when they offer "Now $100 off", and you can still beat their new price by $40 online everyday.
They have smartly been offering free "Set-Up" for you when you buy a GPS; it's been advertised on TV and in the papers. Someone in the marketing department should pat themselves on the back for this one, because if they keep to Garmin or a TomTom, this should take no more than a couple of minutes. Any idiot can do this "Set-up" for themselves.
As you would imagine, I offer a lot of advice to people in person about buying a GPS, and from elderly friends right down to post-college 20-something's, I always hear back that they "So easy to use. I just took it out of the box and it worked."
I will say that some of the higher end units may be a bit more difficult to master, but advanced set-up and instructions won't be dispensed by your average geek squader.
So, feel free to ask questions here, and to take the leap of faith to buy a quality brand name GPS where you can get a good value, and don't worry about the geek patrol, you won't need their help.
