Garmin Nuvi 255W

Basic navigational uses; including detailed map layout of streets and quick response of direction change based on where you are at. Also a easy to use interface and decent settings variations. Includes voice recognition. Very accurate street layout
Not quite as fast interface as other models. Charging port on back verses the side of the device can get in the way. Can be hard to place easily in certain cars. Updates for device are generally in the $60/year

Screen clear and bright, location accurate, calculates my car's mph accurately
Not as many features as more expensive GPS but considering the price
