Looking for advice on what the best GPS units are out there to use in my car. I'll be travelling around the province a lot this summer, and may be renting, so it needs to be portable. Also looking for the best value as well, can't spend a few grand on a professional unit.

Any suggestions?

I have a Holux Slim236. Absolute wonder, it's the size of to AA batteries, it's super responsive (uses the latest chipset), it's bluetooth and accurate and works brilliantly with TomTom on my Treo.

Got it off ebay for $60US+shipping from Hong Kong.

Now if you're looking at a standalone unit i.e. one with its own screen then I believe TomTom do one for Canada.
