After several adventures navigating the streets of Washington DC and Virginia in general this past spring, I spent the past few months borrowing every GPS I could from friends and coworkers. In the end I bought a Garmin nuvi 260 from Circuit City. A real bargain at $160 (I paid $150 3 weeks ago). Least expensive unit from Garvin or Tomtom that speaks street names, I feature I really love. Personally, I found no real use for the extra real estate on the wide screen models. I would prefer a vertically oriented rectangular screen as it would show you further down the road you are currently on without zooming out further. I wish I could download celebrity voices like you can for TomTom.
