I just got a Garmin nuvi 205 and it says things like “in 500 feet, turn left” instead of like “turn left at Main Street”. What kind of GPS would tell me what street or intersection to turn left at or turn on to? Preferably the cheapest model anyone knows since I don’t have a lot of money.
Spoken turn by turn directions, not on screen

I recently bought a new cell phone and it has a GPS navigation feature.

I havent activated it because i cant afford a lot of the costs things bring with them. I would have bought a cheaper phone but they didnt have a lot of options on cheap phones.

My question is,

Last time i ever heard, a civilian GPS system is around 3-10 feet accuracy

but how about a cell phone?
