Garmin Nuvi - I use it and a tape adaptor so I can hear it through the stereo when driving the MGB.

360, the older generation have them, so I'm assuming the later ones do as well.

Nuvi 360 is a pretty good bet, as you should be able to pick them up for a reasonable price these days.

It has TTS (text to speech) so instead of telling you to take the next right it will tell you to turn right in to Wickens Road (or whatever the name happens to be), which may be helpful if you can't see the screen.

It's not too helpful at roundabouts though, merely telling you to take the 3rd exit or whatever. I have known it to get the number of exits on a roundabout wrong, which can lead to a few misdirections.
