I have that same one Kramer listed and I fucking hate it with a passion. I can’t count how many times it’s told me to get off the wrong exit, or wanted me to go down a street just so I can turn around (not because I made a mistake, but because that’s the directions it was giving me). I’d say look at customer reviews and check out [cnet.com](http://cnet.com). ---

That’s weird, when I went to NJ from OCMD I intentionally went farther west that I was supposed to (over to Salisbury) because I wasn’t in a rush and wanted to drive through “central” MD/DE and it got me through no issues.

You looking for portable? If you ever plan to build a system for your car, I HIGHLY recommend a Kenwood DNX unit (I think the 9140 is their current beast). Frankly, my Infiniti’s head unit does not compare. Sure it controls EVERYTHING in my car, but the Navi part and lack of features (for the EQ, source, etc.) is TERRIBLE. My Kenwood in the Maxima did everything but cook for me. DVD, Mp3, CD, USB, iPod, XM, nice Garmin maps, etc. ---

Garmin are supposed to be of the better ones. I have an Insignia Nav01 got it off [Midnightbox.com](http://Midnightbox.com) was $29. It seems to work, just dont rely on it solely, like a radar detector, its only an aid, you still have to use your eyes. lol ---
