I'm starting to look for a better GPS than my current one. Here's my tentative feature wish list:
 Good brand (e.g., Garmin, xxx
 Speaks street names on which to turn
 Lane assist
 Traffic alerts & detours to minimize driving time
 Map content updates from content provider to getter updates sooner (i.e., NavTeq, not the GPS manufacturer’s web site)
 Ability to download contacts from Outlook or integrate with my Blackberry so I don’t have to type in address, I can just select from the list of contacts I already have
 Ability to enter or upload Points of Interest myself.
 Ability to search for a Point of Interest “along my route” rather than near my current location or near my destination
 Something to consider: cost of map updates and cost of traffic report subscription

Thanks,

Joe
