Portable GPS For Your Ride

Neither one of my G35's have built in GPS and my wife and I both have TomTom models from a few years ago. I'm thinking that it's time for an upgrade/switch and I've been looking at Garmin.

Before I start dropping cash I wanted to find out what GPS folks around here use. Let me know the model, model number, and what you do and don't like about what you have

Before I put navigation-equipped headunits in both my G35s, I used the free Ovi Maps for my Nokia N95 phone. It worked well enough.

The new Garmin Nuvis with voice control and such that are out now... they look awesome.

But even an old Nuvi 455W (borrowed from a friend) was good enough for me.

Nuvi Garmin 1490T is a winner for sure.
I love it, bluetooth, 5" screen, it does everything. It is so much better than the OEM navi in my 09 FX35

Thanks for the responses! I just ordered a refurb Garmin Nuvi 265WT from CircuitCity.com for $119. It should be here on Monday! It has a lot more features than my TomTom which will be going on Ebay after I check this one out.
