Pros: Stylish, Sleek, and Simple. Both are well thought out units.
Cons: Comparatively Expensive. No carrying case.
The Bottom Line: You pay your money, and you make your choice. Are Canada and Alaska worth $50? You decide!

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, portable, simple to use
Cons: Thieves like to steal it, no quick way to escape submenus
The Bottom Line: If you go to unfamiliar or new places often, buy one. I don't think the price will go down much further.

Pros: Small, light, easy to use interface, accurate, flexible.
Cons: Initial lock-on needs to be done standing still, more turn warning time.
The Bottom Line: The Nuvi 250 is a fine pocket GPS that will open up your world to explore, without getting you lost along the way.

Pros: Intuitive menus, bright easy to read screen, very detailed maps, small and easy to mount.
Cons: Sometimes questionable routing, short battery life, multiple and possibly confusing software required for advanced features.
The Bottom Line: An easy to use model for the average driver who wants basic navigation from point A to point B, yet offers a few power-user features if you so desire.
