I have had a Garmin Street Pilot for years and in that time, I am on my
third car plus several rentals for vacations. Proof of why portables are
superior to those built in. My $300 original investment plus about $60 every
other year for updated maps is a little cheaper than several thousand three
times for a built in unit that, in North Jersey (should I ever go there)
would be a target to be ripped out of my dash board. The Street Pilot fits
perfectly in my wife's purse when we park in a less than safe neighborhood
or have valet parking.
The other advantage to the portable unit is that I can program addresses
into it in the comfort of my den and then on the road just go to "My
Favorites" and bring them up with a few quick key presses.

I have a Garmin Street Pilot and a GPS navigation built into a Toyota
Avalon. The Garmin is far superior to the model in the Toyota.
