Low cost all-in-one

There are some low cost all-in-one gps units on the market, such as Garmin StreetPilot i2 (~$220) and Quest (~$340). These units have good reviews. Has anyone used those gps units? How do they compare to iGuidance and TomTom on PocketPC?

The low cost AIO usually does not have touch screen. Entering address can be difficult. If your budget allows, Garmin C320 is a good choice. I have seen Costco having this unit on sale for less than $400.

Yes, after I posted the original message. I found StreetPilot c320 is on sale at Costco for $350.00. I didn't pay much attention to it before because it's out of my price range. However, at $350.00 it's tempting. Unlike Quest and i2/i3, c320 has touch screen which makes it even easier to use.

Costco has the 320 for $350 and also the Lowrance 350c, which has been generally favorably reviewed though seems to have some initial QA issues, for $399.

Both would be great starter units.

another option would be something like the Holux GPSMile 60 from semsons or buygpsnow.com. You'd have to buy software for it but you could still prolly get the unit + i guidance for around $400.
