Garmin - Nuvi 660 — 

I've had my Garmin Nuvi 660 for three years now and I think it's great!  I used to input my directions via google maps or mapquest and print them out before taking long trips, but now I don't have to worry about that hassle anymore.  The best part of the system is the auto-rerouting.  If you miss a turn, it will recalculate and get you back on your route quickly.  It has the ability to look up restaurants, gas stations, etc but sometimes that doesn't work too well.  Some of the locations are outdated, and others jsut don't show up when searched for.  It's an incredibly easy to use system, jut input your destination address and you're ready to go.  The touch input is just ok though.  It has large, easy-to-use buttons, but I often have to touch my selections multiple times before it registers properly.  It has the option to play audio trough your car's speakers, but I find that more of a hassle than a benefit.  You have to set up the recieve to broadcast on a specific radio station, then tune your car's radio to that station.  This means that you can't use your radio while the GPS is on.  Also, if you're going on a long trip through multiple states, you'll constantly have to change the station configurations. I'd much rather have the radio free to play music and just listen to the directions via the internal speaker.
