just wondering, why do you need such a small GPS?
I don't do much traveling and wanted something small not to bunch up my stock Jeep.

the tomtom is great for on-road driving but useless for wheeling...

I love my new Garmin Nuvi, no thrills, but accurate and simplistic

get a Garmin or get lost
The Nuvi 200 is a really good base unit, and Garmin is now offering lifetime map updates..

The nuvi 200 works great but one thing i have noticed on a 100 mile trip that I take a few times a year is that the route it wants you to go is not the quickest but not the longest either. It will get you there and home though no doubt.

Now I have to decide if I want to Velcro my radar detector to the dash and mount the GPS to windshield and also figure how to add a couple power ports behind the dash so i can run the wires between the windshield and dash.
