all garmins have the same interface and will produce the same routing/directions. decide if you want larger screen, speech input, bluetooth, annouced streets (annoying to me), lane guidance (too much hand holding for me), etc. also keep in mind that real-time traffic updates is a subscription feature so you'll have to pay extra for it once the bundled subscription expires.
btw, also check out tom tom since they get good reviews also. i'm picking up a tom tom 720 for $250 saturday (hopefully it will still be in-stock).
Buying my FIRST GPS......Heard and saw that Garmin has the most favorable reviews all over. But a very thrifty budget (within $200). SO have only these 3 choices:
1. Garmin StreetPilot C340
2. Garmin Nuvi 200
3. Garmin Nuvi 350
PLEASE ANSWER asap.....have good offers for this WEEKEND only......
