Any particular brand, model or feature that is indispensable?

I am looking for cheap I want to keep it under $150.

Thank you...

I think the most important feature is free lifetime map updates.

I have a Tom Tom, only reason I got it was for the free lifetime map updates. All pretty much the same IMO

I have garmin nuvii, works well for mapped roads.

only thing I dont like about it is its lack of a "trace" feature, but I only paid a $150 for it brand new and that was back in 2006 now they are less than a $100.

with the free maps thats not a issue there is enough 3rd party sites out there that support all the popular brands and models.

I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

I got my Garmin nuvi at Sam's for $200.00 with lifetime maps but it was the more expensive one with the bigger screen.

I say get from NewEgg.com

Best Buy overprices their stuff and will rape you good... But if money is no objection, then eh... go for it...

Most smartphones do as well, or better than standalone GPS units these days.

Check on slickdeals.net. If you don't see anything on the front page use gps in the keyword search. A bunch of stuff will show up but make sure it isn't expired.
