For that price, you can get something like the Clarion NX509 or Kenwood DNX6140 with built-in Navigation AND you get the included benefits of improving your audio system. I absolutely

I absolutely loved my Clarion NX509's Navigation system. Touch screen, very easy to use, usually spot-on with directions/route planning/etc. EDIT: Ahh, I see you're not interested in installed units. That sucks. My wife has a portable GPS unit and it's a PITA. Good luck!

I've always liked Garmin Nuvi units. All of them from the $100 stuff up to the $600 units run basically the same Nav functionality and maps (Kenwood in-dash units run Garmin software). Higher the price, the more features. Compare and contrast all of them here:

I appreciate the feedback so far...I've known about both Garmin and TomTom for some time but as I've never had a portable unit, I've had no experience with either.
I've thought about just relying on my phone and while that would likely work most of the time, that might be more of a distraction than a help.
