The latest GPS navigation systems show a lot of maturity. They're easier to use than last year's models, and they're better at establishing and maintaining a satellite lock. Plus, they've added some interesting features (some more useful than others). Best of all, you can now buy a decent GPS for less than $500 -- in some cases a lot less.

The TomTom One also offers top-notch navigation on the cheap, and it can link with your Bluetooth cell phone to leverage some cool TomTom PLUS services (like traffic updates and new maps).
The only GPS I have qualms about recommending is the Mio C710. Though it's arguably the most feature-packed model in the group, and reasonably priced to boot, I found its interface cumbersome and its navigation capabilities wanting. As the other models prove, there's no need to settle for a less-than-stellar GPS.
