Same boat as you a few weeks ago. Taking a week-long trip to Chicago for business, and was planning on doing a lot of driving.
After a lot of research, I chose the Garmin Streetpilot 340C. Color, touchpad (instead of scrollwheel or buttons), optional speak names and directions (with choice of voice), mounts on dash or windshield, comes pre-loaded with North America and Canada.
Worked great - was able to find gas, restaurants, street adresses, etc. in seconds. It was around $320 at Amazon a few weeks ago.
Cheers, J
