Garmin. I've purchased several of their units for family members and myself after reading a shit ton of reviews. Came down to TOM-TOM or Garmin, and I went garmin every time cause I got a good deal on em. I've heard nothing but good about both brands though. Kind of can't live without it now. So lazy, and awesome. Just be sure to update your maps every year. No monthly fees or anything, unless you do the live traffic updates, which would be nice, but they want too much. I bought the text to speech unit for myself at a small premium, and to be honest I wish I would've just saved myself the extra cash, it can barely pronounce the street names anyway. "Turn Left" or "Turn Right" would've been fine.
