Which GPS is better?
I'm looking for a GPS around $100-140 range.
I'm thinking:
Garmin nuvi 205 GPS
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...Specifications

or

Garmin nuvi 265T
http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...=1&topnav=&s=1

Which one should I get? Thanks!

if the first one doesn't speak the street names, buy the second one

GPS's are useless without text-to-speech street names, how sure can you be of 800m?

800m would be .8 on your trip meter.
