Default smallest NAV unit
I'm wanting a NAV unit and was wondering if anyone knows of some really small ones that are about the size of a hand held GPS. I don't need anything fancy or that talks also north America maps only are needed.

Default Magellan
I have the Magellan Crossover- comes loaded with N. American topo maps and works good for me around town. Mobile mount works good in all my rigs. Fits in my coat pocket.

Okay I have narrowed it down to the Garmin Nuvi 200 and the TomTom one 125

https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?...160#versionTab

http://www.tomtom.com/products/produ...tegory=0&Lid=4

Both have turn by turn directions with voice and both are inexpensive, help me decide.

I have a tom tom and it works great for me. Went with it because it has Canada and Alaska maps loaded whereas Garmin comes with Mexico maps. No monthly supscription with tom tom.

I have a Garmin 60csx Ram mounted on top of the radio. Takes me anywhere I want to go - on and off road. Easy to remove and take along when hiking or Geocaching..

I like my Garmin nuvi 200w small enough and works well for $200.00 or less.
