I have the Garmin Nuvi 250W. It's really great ...it's nice to know the surrounding streets when driving around and its especially usefull when you don't have a clue where you're going.
The 250W is the base unit, it doesn't have Bluetooth and it doesn't have the capability to get traffic reports --features I wouldn't use anyway.
One cool thing about the Garmin, is that they have a plug-in which allows you to upload locations from Google Maps.
I've used it to get around cities I didn't know and I've even learned a few shortcuts within my own city with it.
The only place it messed up was in Toronto on the 401. It instructed me to take the Collectors instead of the Express (even though I was going clear across the city). I didn't listen to it and it hard time distinguishing on which side I was. Once it figured I was in the Express lanes, it kept on recalculating its trip.
Also, while in Toronto, it kept telling me to keep left ... so I did ... next you know I had to make a mad dash across a few hundred lanes to grab the 410. I later figured that when it says "keep left" it means, don't exit.
