I got this on line after doing research on GPSs and reviews on all the brands and models. I spent about two weeks looking. I decided on the Garmin c580, hands down, without question the best GPS I could find as far a features, price and accuracy of maps

Garmin StreetPilot c580 GPS Review
Comments:
New in the STP line is the Garmin StreetPilot c580. The new c580 includes pre-installed maps of North America. Traffic services, weather forecasts, local gas station prices, and local movie listings are all possible thanks to the MSN Direct connectivity.
Review Verdict: The Garmin c580 displays maps on a 3.5 inch touch screen display. The GPS chipset is the popular SiRFstarIII chipset so you should get fast signal acquisition times as well as good coverage in otherwise GPS challenged areas

Review Verdict: A– Great touchscreen, good GPS. MSN Direct isn't available everywhere and not everyone will want to pay extra for that service.
