Garmin Nuvi 205W

By (cnet.com)

The Garmin Nuvi 205W features a large touch screen and an easy to understand interface. Start-up, destination entry, and trip routing/rerouting times are slightly faster than the competition. "Where am I?" feature is very useful for emergencies

As entry-level GPS navigators go, the Garmin Nuvi 205W is still one of the best choices available for users who want speedy performance without breaking the bank.

"For the price, the best value on the market"

By patshawn01 (cnet.com)

All in all, I no longer need a map for anythi... 

I paid $169 and could not be more happy. Plug in and go right from the store and never had to even glance at the directions, nothing tricky and not to simple, awesome size screen with many settings to choose from. I recommend

In order to receive traffic, weather, etc. you need to purchase the seperate power cord/receiver for bout another bill
