I just bought a Garmin StreetPilot III and it works very well. It helped me to get out of downtown Washington D.C. without getting me lost. The colour display is very clear and the voice prompt is crisp enough to understand what the "woman" is saying.

Sixto, where did you see the $500 StreetPilot? I paid $850 at Circuit City. I was about to buy the Alpine when I ran into the StreetPilot III. After some thoughts, I went with the portable unit instead. It only has one CD for N. America including Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, and Porto Rico.

Now, I don't think I will go anywhere without my Valentine One and StreetPilot III.
