What) Buy yourself an upcoming 2011 Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee and you’ll automatically net yourself an in-dash Garmin GPS navigation system.  The Garmin device will have the same easy-to-use interface as its popular nuvi PNDs, albeit with a larger 6.5-inch touchscreen and full integration with Chrysler’s Uconnect radio.  There will also be many other features common to nuvi GPS devices including NAVTEQ maps of North America with 6 million points of interest, frequent map updates, lane assist and junction views, voice-guided turn-by-turn directions, current speed display and speed limits, customized vehicle icons, and Garmin’s Where Am I? feature that displays your current coordinates, nearby gas stations, restaurants and other Points Of Interest.

    Why) I can't say enough good things about Pam's GPS system.  We used it to find good restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, hotels, a Chrysler dealership, liquor stores (not very often) and our current elevation above sea level (frequently).  The GPS listed multiple choices in each category and it listed them in order with the closest one first.  Most importantly, the GPS took us quickly and easily to many obscure Buckys that we may have ended up missing otherwise.

























Here is a picture of the GPS in action.  I did not capture this image just to show you that though.













We ended up in an unusual traffic jam that even the GPS couldn't help us with.
