I agree, I suggest a Garmin 530, that is what I am getting for Christmas, you can get into some really neat stuff if you spend the extra (bluetooth, MP3, MPEG player, etc).

I dunno about that one. The good ones will re-route you if you miss a turn and stuff which I dunno if that one does. My dad has a garmin and all I gotta say is bad ***.

all of the GPS out suck besides the Garmin and Magellann (they kinda suck) if you can stay with garmin then stick to garmin. Alpine is pretty decent, pioneer O_O sucks (the portable unit). And office max has doody GPS c330 is the upgrade to 320.....um go with c340 thought just for the fact it has the street names verbally.
