Magellan Maestro 3100 - The 3100 is a budget GPS that offers good, reliable, basic navigation for under $150 in a package that's easy to use. Its got fewer POIs than more expensive models, and lacks bells and whistles like bluetooth, traffic, or text-to-speech, but it's a better GPS than TomTom's ONE 3rd Edition. This GPS is a good starter GPS for students, or those on a strict budget.

Garmin nuvi 650 - Costco has this unit for almost $100 less than Amazon. The nuvi 650 has a 4.3" wide screen display, uses SiRF's high performance receiver, has around 6 million POIs, ships with Garmin's 2008 maps, text-to-speech, and can be upgraded for traffic data. Plus, it has a host of travel related features, like an mp3 player, photo viewer, and more.

This is a great GPS and $299 is an unbeatable price.

Garmin nuvi 350 - This is the GPS I normally recommend to friends looking for a good GPS that's not too expensive (although given Costco's $299 deal on the 650, which is identical to the 350 but has a wider screen, I'll start recommending the 650). It has excellent routing, current maps, and is easy to use.

When the nuvi 350 was first released it cost almost $1,000. A year later it's still a great GPS and a fantastic bargain for $300. The nuvi 350 uses SiRF's high performance receiver, has around 6 million POIs, ships with Garmin's 2008 maps, text-to-speech, and can be upgraded for traffic data. Plus, the nuvi 350 has a host of travel related features, like an mp3 player, photo viewer, and more. The nuvi 360 is about $30 more expensive, and adds bluetooth so you can use the GPS as a hands-free speakerphone.

Garmin nuvi 760 - My current Editor's Choice, the nuvi 760 is the best GPS I've reviewed to date. If money is no object, go for it. If $665 is too rich for your blood, the nuvi 660 delivers about 90% of the 760's features for $300 less.

If you don't care about Bluetooth or traffic, the nuvi 750 has all the features of 760 minus Bluetooth, and doesn't include the traffic receiver for $478 from Amazon.

Magellan Maestro 4250 - On paper Magellan's Maestro 4250 looks like an even better GPS than Garmin's flagship 760. While the Maestro 4250 is a good GPS with lots of features, it looses points for poor customer support and a routing engine that's slightly behind Garmin's.

The Maestro 4250 has a 4.3" wide screen display, maps of the U.S. (including Canada & Alaska), has a newer, thinner design, 6 million POIs, bluetooth, traffic, voice recognition, is easy to use, and easily lets you customize the route to avoid certain roads. Also popular is Magellan's "Locate" screen that display your current position and nearby POIs, as well as the ability to display approaching POIs along the highway at each exit.
