Garmin - Nuvi 255W — 

I bought the Nuvi 255W because it was on sale, though I wanted a different Nuvi model and they claimed to be out of stock on it (they were not) I bought the 2nd choice.  The other model had traffic, this one does not, without the addition of an addon. 

I'm very pleased with the GPS, it does a good job of getting me where I need to go.  Like all GPS units out there, it sometimes will calculate a different path than you'd normally take, but since all of them do this, you can't blame Garmin for it.

It's very quick to recalculate and has clear voices.  The addon voices are really fun too, such as Elfred, one of Santas Elves.  We laugh everytime we use him!  He can be downloaded from Garmin's website.

If you're looking for a good GPS, buy a Garmin.  Garmin has long been a leader in GPS technology, and this unit does not let anyone down.
