I'll tell you what, I've had quite a few GPS's. (4 Garmins, OEM corvette system, and a TOM TOM 1). And my favorite has to be the Tomtom 1 because of the user friendly characteristics, the ease of the navigation and the price.

I have three of them, a Magellen that came in my motor home, and a Chrysler version that came built into my wifes Jeep, and the one I like the most is a Garmin c330 street pilot that I use in my truck and the Vette, it is a portable, has a lighter plug in, comes with a suction cup that you can put on the windshield, it is by far the most user friendly of the three, my wife bought it for me for my birthday so I don't know what she paid for it. I belong to a RV forum that is big into GPS use, and the Garmin Street Pilot's seem to be the most popular unit.

I have a Magellan 780 which I love. Two of my kids use Tom Tom Gos and one uses a Magellan. They are all good.
I don't like that the Tom Toms use final turn distance in yards verses the Magellan's which use tenth's of miles. But then I am not a golfer, LOL.
Once you use a GPS, you will love it ! I even take mine on business travel.

The Pioneer unit is definately the hot setup, as long as you're willing to take the time to modify the dash to make it fit.
Otherwise, my wife has a Tom Tom 700 and loves it! There's lots of custom voices you can download, plus you can make custom screens using your computer.

Garmin C330 is a good unit - and 
Wal-Mart has some good prices on them.

I went with the Pioneer AVIC 1.5 DIN unit (latest is the N3 I think).
Works well and it has a bigger screen than the portable systems but costs a bit more

My son has the Tom-Tom 300, no complaints I guess. I haven't had to go retreive him so far.
I have the Garmin 320, not a big screen but seems to work really well!
Although I am not sure of the difference between the 320 and the 330 that many people have.....
