I rented a Mercedes in Germany earlier this year, with a GPS system that I loved. It did NOT show complex maps, rather the display (which was blue and white) just showed the street you were on, and the upcoming intersection. I would like to buy such a unit, but have never seen anyhting like it in the stores. Can anyone help? Please reply here or to my email allansimon@hotmail.com

Hi Nobody,

welcome to the forum.

A large number of the Pocket GPS solutions have a so called "safety screen" or safety mode that can be enabled either permanently or depending on the current speed.

This mode has the pictograms that you talk about, and shows maps only in a few select situations. Together with the voice commands these pictograms are fully sufficient for navigating.

Of course you could also go with a built-in navigation system, but that's much more expensive and much less cool...
