Here is my opinion after reviewing several GPS devices. I think Garmin products are the best and I will list a few reasons why. I think you need to first figure out what your needs are in a GPS device and the purpose of having one. Then what specific features are you looking for, such as bluetooth, real time traffic, weather, mp3 songs. Then what price range are you looking for? After all of this I can tell you my experience.. I choose the Garmin Street Pilot C330. I paid 399.00 and here are my reasons: 1) Simple functions and easy to use. 2) Able to mount it on the window. 3) Price range 400-500 4) Reliability 5) I did not want Bluetooth, weather, real time traffic, or other extras. 6) Battery life strong Some drawbacks to the device: 1) Locations not always accurate need to update maps 2) Viewing screen against the sunlight can be difficult to read 3) Bulky 4) It can take a few minutes to load the calculation to the destination. I wish it loaded much faster. Overall, I am very satisfied with my GPS. I can truly say that it has helped out alot and reduced time. I think GPS prices have dropped significantly and now I would get the Garmin Nuvi 350 or 660 since it has everything I have but more... I would read customer reviews but stick with Garmin! Here is a website that might be helpful: http://gpsinformation.net/ PS: I would also go to CNET reviews , which are good too!
