Had the privilidge of renting a Hertz car in
California with a Neverlost GPU unit.
The thing was pretty damn cool, though it had
a tendancy not to take you on the most logical
route.
I was impressed with the unit so much that I
decided I wanted to buy one. The closest thing
to the Neverlost system is the Magellan
750NavPlus found here:

The problem? Cost is about $1600.
Was also looking at the Garmin Street Pilot
which can be found here:

The problem? Still a little pricey.
The problem is, I want the color screen, large
viewfinder and voice prompting. With all those
features I suppose I am going to pay a hefty price.
Anyone know of an excellent GPS unit similar to
the above models but a little less expensive, or,
should I just wait another year for the prices on
these things to come down?
Hopefully I'll find some good advice here.
