1. Garmin Nuvi 660

The price tag is a little hefty, but if you can swing it, the Garmin Nuvi 660 delivers a solid-performing and versatile GPS device that offers navigation basics, tools for the world traveler, Bluetooth, and more. If the Nuvi 660 is too much for you, Garmin offers other models in the Nuvi series with the same great performance, so there's sure to be a model to suit your needs.

2. HP iPaq rx5900 Travel Companion

For the movers and shakers, the HP iPaq rx5900 Travel Companion delivers a sleek, all-in-one solution that can not only keep you on track during your travels but also with your schedule. This PDA-GPS combo is one of the sleekest we've seen to date.

3. Magellan Maestro 4250

The Magellan Maestro 4250 is one of the first portable navigation systems we've tested with a voice command feature. While the ability to operate the GPS device with the sound of your voice is cool, we're more impressed with the accuracy and solid performance of this mid-level system.

4. Mio C520 Navigation Receiver

The sleek Mio C520 is a good-value GPS device, packing in advanced navigation features, a large screen, and other extras for an affordable price. It's even sleek enough that we'd use it as a video player. Our only complaint is that we think you can get a slightly better experience and smoother performance from competing systems.

5. TomTom GO 720

Portable navigation systems are a dime a dozen these days, but the sleek TomTom GO 720 differentiates itself with a new Map Share community tool that gives you access to constant map updates and a useful safety option in case of an emergency.

I see that Costco is selling the Garmin Nuvi 760 for $100 off from June 2 to June 8. It is only available online at CostCo.com. Price is $349.99 after the $100 discount.

i love the tomtom and mio up there....both use tele atlas data which is very reliable and accurate....shows me routes i never even knew existed, and highly efficient so it saves me on gas money....

Define "Best." Depending on an individual's needs, the five you listed could also be the "worst" category. For example, if I want navigation on large bodies of water (Oceans or the Great Lakes), or for aviation, those five don't seem to be all that good.

So, there is no such thing as "best" GPS. There may be a "best for me" GPS, but even that depends on what I want to do at the time.
