some places are selling the 1490LMT for $199 which is a great price for a full featured GPS system with lifetime upgrade of maps. Now if you get the base model 255 like suggested, getting an upgraded map is as easy as popping in a SD card. I like the nuvi because of that feature, especially since I like to go to Europe and I bring the GPS with us. Having maps with you all the time is great.
I was tempted to buy one yesterday but I'm very happy with my 255 which is 2 years old.

here's a good matrix of what features the models have for the garmins, magellans, and tomtoms
