From one of the old guys here, to another...
We have the Garmin nuvi 650, way down the page in the link
below. You can compare all the Garmin models in that link.

Some say Magellan brand, some say TomTom, some say Garmin.
Easy to pick a model that has voice, decent wide screen and pass
on the blue tooth, instant net, music, MSN connections, etc.
Having owned a 10+ yr old early Garmin, I was looking forward to
this new gizmo and my wife really wanted it...after having it for a
year, I must say, like Peggy Lee sang, "Is that all there is?"
We don't deliver pizzas and don't moonlight as car service drivers,
so I remain very unimpressed with the routing, etc. The several
times I've used it, it sent me to locations not remotely where my
intended destination was. And, local routing is suspect, too, imo.
Ranting more: anyone with any sense of direction can drive from NY
to Montana, with a map or even a general net map or even common
sense...it's when one gets to Billings area and one wants to find ol'
Uncle Fester on Hwy 217, etc., is where these gizmos fall short.
I can get anywhere on the planet with a map...when I get close is
when the fuzzy and not very up to date "local knowledge" falls down
imo. You may have better luck and, the GPS/Garmin type users here
may beat on me, but it is mostly semi-flash and very little real knowledge, imo.
My 50Ct has run out...
