No. 9. Garmin Nuvi 350

Talk about a blast from the past! This Nuvi 350 was reviewed way back in 2006, yet it still garnered enough views to make it into this list. This is probably because it can now be found for less than a third of its original price.

No. 7. Navigon 7200T

This year, Navigon dropped out of the North American portable navigation market, which is a shame because the 7200T was actually a pretty good PND. Fortunately, it can still be purchased and at a reduced price.

No. 4.TomTom ONE 125

The TomTom ONE 125 has since been replaced with the TomTom ONE 140 S, but the older model has managed to stay in the public eye thanks to ridiculously low clearance prices.

No. 3. Garmin Nuvi 255W

The Garmin Nuvi 255W represents the current state of entry-level GPS devices. For what you once paid for a small 3.5-inch device, you now get a big, bright 4.3-inch unit.

No. 2. Garmin Nuvi 880

As one of the first internet connected navigation devices, the Nuvi 880 featured live traffic, fuel prices, and local events over its MSN Direct connection--that is, until the MSN Direct service goes dark in January 2012.

No. 1. Garmin Nuvi 265WT

At the top of our list is--you guessed it--another Garmin.

The 265WT is Garmin's most advanced Nuvi 2x5 model without MSN Direct. Featuring free FM-based traffic information, a big wide screen, and Bluetooth wireless for hands-free calling and audio, the Nuvi 265WT represents a great balance of value and function.
