We are taking a driving trip to Seattle soon and neither one of us have been there before. The other day a guy at work suggested that I pick up a cheap GPS system.
I did some quick on-line shopping and noted that both Futureshop and Walmart had a Garmin 255 for $99 and $88 respectively.
Anyone have any thoughts recommendations on this unit - or a GPS in general. Most of the places we drive we know - but I was thinking that something that is easily portable would be nice if I ever had to rent a car or if we go on another road trip.

Buy the Navigon app for your iPhone. It's only ~$60 and is way better than a cheap Garmin (I have a cheap Garmin). Mind you, I've only used it within Calgary so I can't comment on its effectiveness outside of the city.
I read about your rough luck with losing your iPhone 4, but maybe putting your GPS budget towards a better replacement phone and buying the app will be a win-win?
