I went through it all, learning about the bells and whistles, which one people liked better, blah-blah-blah. I ended up with readers burnout and decided to go back to basics: "...which unit would get me to where I'm going OR make sure I know where I am". That was my base criteria. The Garmin nuvi 260W fits the bill perfectly. My reasons for buying this one were it does all the basic stuff I need/want (where am I?) and it adds a wider screen, I can unclip it for portable use, and even though I don't/likely won't use it, it comes with a card reader suporting a few of those bells and whistles people seem to think are important. I also bought that Garmin Portable Friction Dashboard Mount (highly recommended to all!!) so I could easily remove the GPS for use in another car OR just hide the unit when I'm not in the car (thieves are looking). Overall I am extremely pleased with my purchase. If I were to buy a second one, knowing what I know now, I would buy another 260W and stay away from those higher priced units. This one is perfect for me and almost everybody I know. Hope this helps :) There is a lot of information out there on buying a GPS unit.
