A newbie with probably a silly question. :-)

Hello Folks:

I have retired and very recently moved to a town about 40 miles outside of major metropolitan area which I would love to investigate. Because of multiple sclerosis I do not have good fine finger control and as a result I want to get a GPS system that will recognize voice commands. Are there any such systems out there. I have done some searching, but I am unsure if voice recognition in regards to GPS systems in what I think it means.

I would very much desire a response, even a mocking one.

Not a bad question in any way.

Take a look at the Garmin nüvi 850 and 880.

Some laptop (computer) based GPS systems, do, too.

(for the Garmins it is still strictly "top end", so these units are more expensive)
