My Garmin iQue 3600 cost about $400.00 a year ago. It lists all the hotels, gas stations, restaurants, and even go-go bars in all cities in the US. It speaks to me, tells me when I screwed up, and with its bean bag holder, stays nicely on the I/P. Since it is next to impossible to get lost on the major interstates the only real reason I have it running is for the detour function, and that has come in handy a few times thanks to the massive amount of roadwork during the summer months.
My Magellan TOPO does not speak, but it does mount to the windshield, has a real small screen, but the TOPO software lists every arch, notable rock formation, and two-track roads in Arches, Canyonlands and the Smokies. It actually does all, but those are the only ones I have been to since I purchased it.
I can also take the Magellan and clip it to my side so I can take a hike in the mountains, and with lay "electronic bread crumbs" so I can't get lost.
I would rather take that $1900 and spend it on rocker and under carriage protection.
