Garmin has been around for 17 years, its different than a company that might have one or two GPS models they just started last year. Also, they equip airplanes like 737's, so you know they will not install cheezy GPS units on commercial aviation. Garmin has the most recent maps also and the most detailed. Garmin has models from $249 to 1,000's. And no, I don't work for them at all. I plan to buy one in the next couple days. Look for the streepilot C330, almost every person says its great. It also has a nice price of $249. The screens are also simple to use. Where to and Map!

I like the mio gps. they just came out with the new model 320x it think. staples.com sells it for about 199.99 with free next business day shipping. You can drop teh price by 30-50 if you have a coupon. I use an older model, works great driving, and has an option ifyou travelign by foot. It has great accuracy. There are reports that the TomTom software works even better on a Mio device which might cost you a few bucks more to do, i have yet to do it.
