I think these boys are right !! For what you'd pay for the Magellan ($300), you could get a seriously good Garmin (& have $100+ left in your pocket). I have a Garmin nuvi 205W (~$100) that's more than I need, works great, and has more features than I could ever hope to use (or need to use). 4" screen & window mount works for me. (just remember to remove it when you're not going to be using it for awhile ... and clean the "circle" off the windshield glass, so no nosey thieves will know you have one) You'll also need a USB cable, so you can download your map updates & all. But, if you're lucky & you already have a digital camera, like I did ... you can use the USB Cable from it (& save yourself another $20 or so).


Here's what I'm talking about, when I say a "seriously good" Garmin : Garmin nuvi 1450LMT 5" GPS with Lifetime Maps & Traffic on sale for $179.99 if you don't have any qualms about doing business thru Amazon.com --- It has a 5" screen ... w/lifetime traffic & maps (close to a $200 value).

But, I'd do like Beagle says .... go to the Garmin site & look at all their products. When you decide which one fits you best, then search that model number and see where you can get the best deal. When I first looked up the unit I show in the link (1450LMT) I found it for $229, and thought that was a good price .... THEN I did a search on just the model number, & came up with the $179.99 (new) price w/free shipping. It pays to search !!

Good luck with whatever unit you end up with.
