I'm looking for a GPS this year too--Santa should have it in his bag--so bought the Dec. issue of Consumers Reports. I haven't read CR in a few years and was a bit disappointed at the lack of overall info, but there were some useful pieces. Garmin and TomTom owners are the most satisfied with their purchase. All 14 models were check rated from an $800 Nuvi 880 to the cheapest Nuvi 200. The Nuvi 255W was the most expensive "best buy" at $280 and the Nuvi 200 the least expensive "best buy" at $150. Two other Nuvi's and the TomTom One 130 were also "best buys".
My conclusion from reading all this and checking online prices is that there are several pretty good Garmin and TomTom units out there for well under $200. I'm thinking of moving up one step from the cheapest to either a wide screen and/or spoken street names. I haven't decided which is the most important and will leave that up to son #2 who is a tech junkie and has Santa's ear as well.
