I have a Garmin 650. I tried many (bought and returned). The most overlooked is the Navigon 5100/7100 if you live in a congested area. Free traffic info! The negative, to me, is that you had to read the manual. I couldn't just hand it to my Mom and tell her to figure it out.

I settled on the 650. It's easy to use. I use and love the ability to select a 'bus' or 'truck' routing. I frequently tow BIG trailers (not with my 4Runner). It never runs me down roads I can't fit. The drawback of the 650 is no "cookie trail" to follow back to the road. My 650 is suction cupped right below the hazard light switch. I use the MP3 feature too, works pretty well:bigok:

I'd love a 478 as source for driving info, XM etc but that is one I can't just give to Mom or Dad... :cheers:

It boggles the mind that this is not in every GPS.

I used to use a Magellan in my '06 Tacoma and it worked very well, all the features I needed.

My 4Runner has a stock Toyota unit and it is basically the same other than the bigger screen.
 
I just purchased the Nuvi 350 from Amazon on Monday for $254, free super saver shipping so it won't get here until next week. Both family vehicles have integrated navs, but am looking forward to using it in rental cars and when walking the streets on vacation looking for POIs... I'm going to Hawaii next month and Washington D.C. in July so I hope it works as expected.
