I just picked up the Garmin 250w from futureshop for $179 down from $269 last week. It came updated with 2008 maps, so I didn't need to update. Its a pretty sweet device.. I really like the widescreen.

I bought it for my parents as because they were taking a trip out of town. I never saw the appeal of an expensive GPS unit when you can just use a map, but after playing around with it I really like it.

I looked at that tomtom you linked and some of the reviews said that the speaker on it was terrible and barely audible.
