GPS units?, wondering what brand and model is the best? Options

[boosted95]

I want a nice GPS for about 300. Thinking about a garmen nuvi 260, but there's many more units on the market for that price. Any recommendations?

as far as speeds... my unit(garmin) has my max speed at 495mph or somethign crazy like that, and my tomtom has a max recorded at liek over 1000mph... i dont think they can legitamately give you any issues for the speed as its an approximate value and any break in coverage, or slight outtage where the unit chugs would result in your speed being reported as an average 72mph say to like 300mph depending on how far/long the outtage lasts

but garmins rock, tomtom's are nice, but lack some features, all depends on what you are gonan use it for. if the cheaper model fits your needs when you're playin with it in the store and you really dont have an appreciation for all the bells and whistles and enhancements on teh more expensive one then save your self the money and get the cheaper one, more than likely your never going to use the $800 gps units to what they can anyways
