We looked at squallmart Tomtom is made in india, Magellan is Kalif.
and Garmin is KC Magellan had the most info on the box, and seemed
to be the best value there. (139) Vs garmin at 169 and tomtom at 139.

The ummm vendor locks out true GPS, so you have to use assisted GPS,
and the server that you need to connects to requires a digital
certificate before it will talk to you.

As, others have said, Garmin. Take it from someone who works in the
industry.
As for other brands... get one that uses NavTeq maps. They will have the
NavTeq logo on the box. The quality of their data, especially for rural
areas, is quite good.

GArmin, state of the art. It's the Apple of GPR. My Nuvi was about
$200 at SAMs Club, even routes me around traffic.
Big problem, I'm sloppy and have had 2 of them stolen.
