Do you own one, if so, what brand?

Buying a gift for someone, and have been reading reviews until I'm blue
in the face. Looking to spend around $250. Been looking on NewEgg, any
suggestions for competitors?

Thanks

I have a Magellan, TomTom, internal GPS on my Smartphone (works great
because it will download the google maps satellite image as a layer) and
an external USB GPS on my notebook.

You didn't say what the intended use might so I will assume auto
navigation. I like the current TomTom products. I would look at one of the
TomTom 4.5" XL series (maybe a 340).

ditto on the Magellan. Used it to get to NYC and back to TX. Only got lost
once in DC because it sent us to the opposite side of town.

See my previous post where I mentioned that I ran a Magellan and
Garmin side by side. The Magellan sent me the wrong way at 2 different
highway junctions near my house while the Garmin sent me the right way
both times.
