The StreetPilot c510 is a solid budget offering, and has a few features that are usually reserved for more expensive models.

Although the eTrex H might suit those hikers who want nothing except the bare minimum, most will find it largely unusable. Inadequate functionality and no base map makes the unit extremely hard to use for anyone except the most experienced hikers, and the slightly more expensive Magellan Triton 200 is probably a better option.

The Oregon 200 is a stripped-down version of the Oregon 300. It has many of the same benefits and flaws of the more expensive model. If you want to save money and don’t need wireless sharing or relief shading, go for the Oregon 200.

The Colorado 300 provides a slightly cheaper, non-touch-screen alternative to the Oregon 300. With both models proving good combination automotive/handheld GPS devices, the decision largely comes down to your preferred control scheme.

If you are after a compact and simple GPS system, then the nuvi 300 should fit the bill. Overall, a solid navigational experience on the whole is enough to cover for some small deficiencies.

The nuvi 250 is a solid unit and commands a lower price than the 250W, despite possessing the same features.

The nuvi 250W is a solid unit and the widescreen display is certainly a nice touch for an entry-level model, but its missing a few features to warrant its price tag.

The Oregon 400c is a reasonably priced option if you need detailed coastal maps. The inclusion of a microSD slot provides adequate room for expansion.

A sleek, slim design combined with the latest in features including the ability to transmit sound via a built-in FM transmitter, the compact nuvi 760 is definitely a winner.
