Looking for a portable GPS device?

If you're in the market for a portable Global Positioning System, then advice from Consumer Reports might lead you in the right direction. In its October (2007) edition, the magazine lists as its "best buys" the Tom Tom One ($300), the Magellan Roadmate 2000 ($250) and the Garmin StreetPilot c330 ($300). Some of the other units they tested sell for more than twice as much. In fact, the editor's top rated GPS, the Garmin Nuvi 660, retails for $700. Paying more, said CR "brings niceties such as hands-free Bluetooth callling," but overall the editors liked the three units here noting that while they didn't offer "everything," they were especially easy to use and did their job well.
