I'm quite satisfied with the functionality of my Garmin 182c. They can be found on ebay for pretty cheap. To simplify installation I suggest finding one with an integrated GPS antenna...or buying the integrated antenna separately. I think $200 would probably be a fair-ish price. Watch ebay. You'll also need the correct map "card" for your area. If you start looking for something that interfaces with n2k or radar this is not the product for you. Besides that I think it is great! You can always use iPhone/android as a backup/alternative. For Android I like MX Mariner.
