if you are going to get one for your car/truck get a garmin!...i have tested over 10 diffrent types and Nate i hate to say it but the tomtom were bottom of the list. garmin has an extreamly simple format to follow but can do everything nate mentioned and more. when you get to the higher priced ones ( 500+) they come with bluetooth, mp3 and others. also the 4.3" screen is nice..go to best buy or circut city and play with them
