My wife has fought all her life with dyslexia but done very well e.g. graduated with honors from Indiana University. However, now comes Alzheimers and the fight gets tougher. We have moved to Sun City Hilton Head a community of about 4000 homes growing at a rate of ~800 per year to a planned 8000. The streets are complex; most end in cul-de-sacs or are courts or winding around. It's a wonderful place for active adults but my wife has been getting lost regularly often for an hour or more until she is able to find her way home. Same applies to going to nearby towns.
I need to get my wife a GPS that will help her find her way to and from activities she wants to do. She is a fighter as I have siad and does not intend to let Alzheimers stop her for the foreseeable future. The doctors agree and even say its very desirable that she continue to go/do things that forces her to exercise her mind i.e do the bank account, trips to wherever, etc.
I have an older Earthmate GPS that I used on a laptop in motorhome but would like to get something she can use more easily. She uses golf cart to go around Sun City and then the car for other activities. I need a good display since voice commands to turn left or right have no meaning to a dyslexic person at least in time to react. She needs to be able to see the path clearly. I would like to get somethng that could be easily moved from car to golf cart or if two separate GPS's are desirable then so be it.
Any suggestions from users would be greatly appreciated.
