Adivce on GPS(automobile) battery life?

It's that time of year when we share the Christmas spirit and try to figure out what to purchase for the ones we love the most :wink: ....

So I come to the place of wisdom and friends looking for knowledge ....

This year members of my family need updated GPS.

In the past we have always used (and given as gifts) the Garmin brand of GPS.

Through our own personal experiences the Garmin has been a very satisfying unit, EXCEPT for the battery life....

Two years ago we just wanted to upgrade our Garmin, so we gave away our current unit and bought a Nuvi 750....Within less then 6 months the unit would not operate more the 30 minutes without needing to be plugged in....Long story short we were not happy and this was following all of Garmins suggestions.

We found out later that the unit we had given away also had a short battery life.

Soooooooooo.... I would like to hear from those who are willing to tell what GPS do you use and what are your experience with the battery life?

Recommendations?

Thanks, Denise of PartyCrashers
