Thanks Guys,

So what's the differences in the different Garmin series? Anyone have a good link! Gagan, those links you posted are all in my price range, but so is the Nuvi 265. Just wanna educate myself when purchasing, and am not sure what the Nuvi differences are!

Personally, unless you are looking for the ability to multi point route or FM traffic updates (limited time free then it's a fee per yr), get the 260W and pocket the $50.

The 780 is much nicer, but that's about it. In terms of core GPS functionality, the 260w is going to be more than enough.

Take the savings and buy the bean bag dash mount holder thingy, I bought one and like it alot.
