Depends what you're looking for, but I just got a Garmin Venture for
$125 on Ebay with a little bracket to mount it in my TJ... it doesn't
do street maps, but is loaded with villages, cities, towns, points of
interest, etc. Perfect for trail rides/hiking, and I do use it when I
have to go into the city (works great for finding spots in DC like
restaurants, parks, addresses, etc.). If you get a Garmin, download
easygps for free from the easygps website, and you can search grids
and enter new waypoints you want to find. The unit is small, tough,
waterproof, and not too greedy on batteries. Perfect for me, but not
too fancy, so you might not like it.

Re: Navigation system
Just bought my 3rd GPs after not having bought one for around ten years...
the new Garmin GPSMAP 60C and 60CS are currently rated #1 by a few GPS
websites. I bought my 60CS around a month ago and it's really great... it
also has a built-in altimeter and compass... the autorouting on the street
is pretty amazing.
http://www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap60cs/
The color display is also amazing. I paid $418 for my GPSMAP 60CS.

I just put my wife in the copilot seat, she is always telling me what to do
I might as well make good use of her back seat driver skills. Then when the
directions are wrong it is her fault.
