Thinking about getting one for my wife's new Highlander, but don't have much knowledge in this market - hoping to pick some collective brains out there. Model, manufacturer, price, etc.

 

I've been researching these to but only the portable units. I like the Garmin Streetpilot 2610 so far. About $750-$900. The only downside seems to be that it doesnt run on batteries, only 12v. I was comparing it to the Magellan 500 which is said to be much slower. If youre looking at in-dash units, do a search as there are several that have done those too.

 

i'm looking to more of the portable units as well. how much slower is the magellan 500, and will be this be the same for the 700?
