Theft of portable car GPS units is a big problem. I had my car broken
into shortly after I got the Garmin. The thief spotted the dash mount,
and assumed I had stowed the GPS unit in the glove box. Actually it was
one block away, where I was in a restaurant, with the GPS in my pocket.
My insurance wound up footing the bill for almost $1000 in damage that
was done during the break-in. Since then I've learned to use a less
conspicuous dash mount, and not to park in bad neighborhoods. :-(

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).
