i have a HP PDA that has TomTom built into it. My wife liked it so much she asked for one for christmas from me.

So i got her the TomTom XL one

I have the Pontus HNP-3510, it wasn't a bad little unit, but with temperature change, the suction cup wouldn't stick to the windshield, so it just sat in my cupholder, and the audio wasn't loud at all. I had to turn my radio ALL the way down to hear it.

I have a TomTom also, I highly recomend it because it is very customizable, and handy on long distance trips.

I have a Garmin and a magellan gps. I honestly prefer the magellan for when I work.. it has the blue tooth, is less bulky than the Garmin , has more features imo and is more user friendly in general.

one of my garmins is only about the size of my wallet. i think its a nuvi 200
