If money is no object, it’s hard to beat the performance, features, and ease-of-use of the Garmin nüvi 880. Full voice recognition (that actually works) lets you enter addresses, search for POIs, and navigate menus without ever taking your hands off the steering wheel. Throw in traffic alerts, Bluetooth, and host of other goodies, and the 880 makes other GPS devices drool with envy.

Garmin's new nüvi 765T adds some seriously cool new features to the nüvi product line, including 3-D building view, lane assist, and an ultra-fast map refresh rate for smooth scrolling. It's still a Garmin nüvi at heart, and is easy to use, has Bluetooth, traffic alerts, text-to-speech, route planning, and more.

If you don't plan on using the Bluetooth for hands-free calling, the Garmin nüvi 755T is otherwise identical, but can be had for around $50 less.

TomTom's innovative GO 930T learns from previous driving conditions, including historical traffic data and the time of day, and adjusts its routing to find the best roads to take. The innovative IQ Routes, 3D lane guidance, Map Share, and the ability to correct map errors directly on the GPS make the elegant looking GO 930T one of the most unique GPS devices available. Though not quite as easy to use as Garmin's nüvi, the 930T provides some great features not found on other devices.

Though it lacks the 3D lane guidance and fast map redraw capability found on the more expensive nüvi 7x5 units, the Garmin nüvi 265WT does have text-to-speech, a wide screen, Bluetooth, and free lifetime traffic alerts. This same set of features would have cost twice as much last year.

Garmin's nüvi 350 has been discontinued by Garmin, but it's still an excellent GPS. Garmin still releases firmware and mapping updates for it, so you'll be driving with current maps. The 3.5-inch screen fits nicely in a pocket or bag for easy travel. The nüvi 350 is easy to use, has a high performance GPS receiver, a nicely integrated music/audiobook player, and a host of handy travel features (currency converter, photo viewer, language dictionaries, and more). At roughly 1/3rd what it cost last year, the nüvi 350 is an excellent bargain purchase.

The Garmin nüvi 650 cost almost $800 when it was first released. This price has now dropped below the $200 mark. It's been discontinued by Garmin, but they still release map and firmware updates for it. This was Garmin's top-of-the-line back in 2006, and it's still a very good GPS. The 650 features a bright, 4.3-inch widescreen display, text-to-speech, high performance SiRF GPS receiver, and a nicely integrated mp3/audiobook player. I still use one today and it remains a great GPS for the money. The nüvi 660 adds Bluetooth, FM transmitter, and a traffic receiver for around $50 more.

Magellan's Maestro 4250 is a widescreen GPS with voice command, Bluetooth, traffic alerts, AAA TourBook information, and high performance SiRF powered GPS receiver. It's easy to use, has some nice unique features not found on other units, and lets you optimize multi-destination trips by distance. It's already a good price at around $275 new, but Amazon is selling factory refurbished units for $119. This GPS for under $120 is a fantastic deal, and better than anything else you'll get for $100 this season.

Garmin's nüvi 500 is like having three (good) GPS units in one convenient package: on the road it performs just like a regular Garmin nüvi, complete with easy to use turn-by-turn voice prompts, POIs and more. Off road, the pre-loaded topo maps let you go Geocaching or hiking. The removable battery lets you plan for long excursions, and optional marine maps let it operate at sea too. It's waterproof, rugged, and the best multi-purpose GPS I've tested to date.

An included heart rate monitor, full-color maps, turn-by-turn directions, advanced route-planning, and the ability to wirelessly transmit data to other riders makes the Edge 705 the best choice for serious cycling enthusiasts and athletes. Add an optional speed/cadence sensor to collect additional workout data.

If you don't need the heart rate monitor, barometric altimeter, or wireless data transfer capacity, the Edge 605 is another top choice and is about $150 less expensive.

Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx isn't quite as user-friendly as the newer Oregon 400t, but serious outdoor GPS enthusiasts love its bright screen, use of AA batteries, sensitive antenna, and rich feature set. If you've never used a GPS before, the 60CSx has a steep learning curve. If you're already familiar with handheld GPS units, and prefer function over form, the 60CSx is a winner. More casual users should look the Oregon 400t.

Garmin Mobile puts a full Garmin nüvi on your smartphone/Blackberry. Actually, in some ways it's better than a regular GPS, since cellular network connectivity means always current maps, Google searches, the ability to check flight status, weather, and fuel prices at nearby gas stations.

Available as a monthly subscription, or lifetime purchase for $99.

TeleNav (AT&T Navigator) Tele Nav isn't quite as refined as Garmin's Mobile solution, but it's still much better than Verizon's VZ navigator, and better than many standalone PNDs. Note that AT&T Navigator is actually just a re-branded version of Tele Nav.
