Hi, I have never used a GPS and would like to buy one, but I cannot seem to find whether the GPS im looking at have a feature where I can select my destination (or destination waypoints) directly from the map using a touch screen.

Do any GPS have this feature? I dont want to have to select an address especially if I dont knw it Smile

Which GPSs are you looking at? I believe that most will do what you want.

Well, for sure the TomToms do it. On a screen it can be quite difficult to get exactly the pinpoint you require, so you are better off tapping an on-screen keyboard for City name, then Street name, then house number. Personally my favourite is Postcode. But if sticking a stylus into a map is your preference, they'll do it and like the man says, I wouldn't be surprised if they all do.

Further to my last, Igo based GPSs (Igo, MioMap etc) all allow a map input. Its my prefered method of entry.
