I bought my Garmin Nuvi after using my brother in laws unit for a road trip to New Mexico. We were going to use the unit for geo caching and that was it and it ended up being the most important packed item for the trip.  We used it to find gas, not that we are blond, but having gotten caught up in the beautiful landscapes of New Mexico often found that we forgot gas is a necessity to keep on sight seeing.  Since that trip I went and bought my own unit and use it on a daily basis for my work as an over the road driver.  This unit has saved me many a time from taking the long way.  The only drawback is that it is not set up for oversized vehicles like mine and it sometimes gives you some wacky directions, so it is always best to use a map to make sure that the roads are passible.  Another thing that is great is the lifetime membership to satellite traffic control that gives information about backups as it prevents me from spending too much time stuck in traffic.
