Newegg sells these, and I'm heavily considering getting one for my girlfriend for Christmas, but I know very little about GPS units. Does anyone know if it speaks (ie. turn left in 100 ft., etc)? I think that's a feature she'd need, driving and looking at a screen at the same time doesn't seem like a very good idea. Also, what is the disadvantage of getting something cheap like this compared to an expensive unit?
