Garmin - Nuvi 360 — 

I bought the Garmin nuvi 360 quite some time ago, so I have played around with it a lot. I love it, because I would constantly be lost without it, but there are also many flaws with the device. It sometimes takes a really long time "Acquiring Satellites" in when in cities or rural areas, so I suppose the best place to use one is in the Suburbs. Also the maps are never fully updated, even if you buy the latest edition; which is actually another downside, that you are forced to buy map updates for about $75 a year rather than have them updated for free. Also, sometimes my nuvi seems to want me to go to some obscure place before reaching my destination, such as Phoenix, AZ, which is usually WAY out of the way.

Enough about the cons though. The nuvi 360 is extremely portable and is you can get traffic info if you buy the extra add-on. You can use it for walking, biking, or basically with any type of mode of transportation. Plus I would have most likely wasted a significant amount of my daily time looking for places without it.
