I find Garmin units the best out of all the ones I sampled (fast, accurate and up-to-date, intuitive). Had a nuvi360 (stolen) and moved to a nuvi680 (don't get it, FM traffic receiver is hardwired into the cig lighter adapter, major flaw).
Read somewhere that TomTom and Google are hooking up, you can plot your path via google maps and upload it to the tomtom. Now that would be really handy.
