The streets of New Orleans are anything but easy to navigate.  Even though I was born and raised here, the city streets always leave me lost.  Another fact of life here is evacuations.  At least once every few years, we find ourselves driving out of harms way to an unfamiliar city.  We have affectionately called these little trips, “Hurrications” which in 2005 lasted about 6 months for my family.

In times like this, when tensions and anxiety are at an all time high, a GPS navigation system, such as the MOTONAV TN20, would help to ease my mind.  From the website:

“MOTONAV TN20 is a reliable, easy-to-use portable GPS navigation system that relieves the stress of driving in unfamiliar places with spoken street names and turn by turn directions.”What a great Mother’s Day gift (hint hint)!  Driving in ANY city would be so much easier with this unit.  The MOTONAV TN20 has over 1 million pre-loaded points of interest and can help you find just about any restaurant, hotel, business or gas station on your trip!

This model has a 3.5″ touch screen which will adjust in brightness for day or night driving.  The touch screen allows the driver to use their finger to zoom and easily move around the map in the direction they wish to go.  It can also be mounted on your windshield with a suction cup adapter and directions can be viewed in either 2D or 3D images.

Need more features?  Check out the big brother, the MOTONAV TN30!  The biggest difference between the two units is that the TN30 is Bluetooth enabled and has Caller ID capabilities.  It is also a bit bigger with a 4.3″ touch screen and 4 million preloaded destinations.

Motorola has generously donated one MOTONAV TN20 to a lucky Not-So-Blog reader!  This is a great prize with an ARV of $179.99!
