Chi58, for me, the Tom Tom One is the best deal... he is why... I got the Tom Tom ONE for Christmas, and use it several times a week. It's inexpensive compared to others, and the best thing it's portable from one car to the other. I like the fact that I just need to input an address, press calculate and it stored the location and starts telling me which way to go.

We have found places I could have NEVER gotten to via directions, and in a pinch, it has an Alternate directions button that helps when there is a traffic jam. The best thing for me is it Tells me where to go, when to turn, and does so in a choice of several voices and languages. This way, I don't have to keep looking at it, and can concentrate on the road.

Very safe, and it has a night mode which has just the right brightness so it's not too harsh on my eyes. You can get the Tom Tom ONE (pictured below) for under $260 if you shop around. I added a link to their web site, because they have a good price now, and it includes free accessories and free shipping.

Others usually sell for much more, and don't have the ability to be upgraded online like this one. So, for me, I could have the Chrysler dealer put a $2,400 navagation system in my 300C, and or spend $260 and use the difference to get some nice wheels!

I can not tell you the best, but I know about my Lowrance 500C. I have a Lowrance 500C. It is 2 years old and has been replaced by a newer model with similar physical characteristics.

They both have a large screen and a 20 gig internal hard-drive that does not require a SD card or regional map additions. I have had problems with the touch screen calibration and losing the base map north of Iowa. Customer service is always the same, delayed response to e-mail, give the unit a ’hard reset’ and reload the latest software/firmware revision.

Other than these aggravations I have not found a system that I like better. I’m not impressed with my wife’s TomTom .

While the Nuvi's are newer, I like the Garmin StreetPilot c330 Vehicle GPS Navigator http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-StreetPilot-c330-Vehicle-Navigator/dp/B0007LJHVA/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/002-5194276-5249667?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1186166337&sr=8-2Garmin StreetPilot c330 Vehicle GPS Navigator Price: $238.45Technical Details * Database features nearly six million points of interests including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions * Keep track of destinations an easy-to-access list called Recent Selections * Bright, 3.5-inch diagonal, 16-bit color displayAmazon. Com Product DescriptionWith a simple touch screen interface, automatic route calculation to any destination, and turn-by-turn voice-prompted directions, the StreetPilot c330 GPS navigator is a powerful companion for your adventures on the road. Plus, Garmin has designed the "c-series" of car navigation units to be as simple and easy-to-use as possible-- no more intimidating features, just straightforward, basic navigation at your fingertips.

Selecting a destination is as simple as a few finger-strokes, and you can choose between a three-dimensional navigation view or the more traditional "bird's eye" overhead view. The streetPilot "c-series" GPS navigators feature a simple touchscreen interface, with automatic route calculation to any destination. The 3.5-inch diagonal, 16-bit color display makes navigation a snap.

The included database features nearly six million points of interests including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. The c330 keeps track of places that you find and stores the fifty most recent finds in an easy to access list called Recent Selections, placing the most recently viewed at the top of the list. This becomes a very helpful feature if you visit the same places over and over and don't want the inconvenient of reloading the information in the unit multiple times.

Although the c330 boasts distinctive and sleek styling, simplicity is the name of the game. The only buttons are a rotary volume knob and an on/off switch. The device is secured by a suction-mount cradle that fastens to the windshield for easy portability between vehicles.

The c330's bright, 3.5-inch diagonal, 16-bit color display makes navigation a snap. The unit also features dual integrated speakers for high-quality voice prompts, and an internal lithium-ion battery for out-of-car route planning. It's also worth mentioning that with some GPS units the manual to use them is as thick as a phone book, but it was a pleasant surprise to find that the c330's manual was very easy to use and provided many screen shots to make sure the user understood the units capabilities.

If you find yourself on the road looking for addresses often and just want a GPS to tell you where to go simply and clearly than this unit was made for you.
