Newegg has a couple TomTom gps units for cheap cheap prices. They have a refurbished 4.3" TomTom One XL for $88.00, a TomTom One without text-to-speech for $69.00 and one with text-to-speech for $87.99. The last two have rebates making them even cheaper, but most people forget to fill those out so I am not including those in the prices.
The One XL is the best deal. It has text-to-speech (it says the street names, a great feature), bluetooth, and a large screen. The other two are good deals as well, depending on your needs. I do not like the turn in 500ft models myself, I like the turn on main st, but both work.
Find the XL here.
Find the non text-to-speech one here.
Find the text-to-speech model here.
Lastly, I am a Garmin man. They make the best GPS's out there. If you plan on using the GPS a lot they are worth the extra money. But if you are not after something you will use a lot, the TomTom is fine. Someone has to be second place :-).
One more bonus thing, both the TomTom and Garmin allow you to plan your routes on Mapquest and then upload the route to the GPS. This is great as a keyboard and mouse beats a touchscreen any day of the week.
Later,
John
