I'm intersted in picking up a portable GPS for my car.

I would like to hear from those who have one before buying one. Which one do you have? What you like about it, What you don't like about it? How would you rate it? Or are they all basically the same?

Thanks for any input.

I Use a Garmin 276C it a couple years old and has the ability to do marine charts also. I am curious to hear from others about some of the new stuff it hard to tell what the difference between the $150 and $500. I really like this technology especially if you travel.

i have a garmin 250w. but i also have the new tomtom (widescreen, can't remember model #)

the garmin is a nicer display, and more visually pleasing. but it lacks the user friendly interface that the tom toms have.
