I have done extensive research and owned a few garmin units. I suggest the bare bones Garmin Nuvi 200.
The other models have fancy this and that but when it comes down to it they work the same and calculate routes the same. The accuracy may be slightly different in the higher end models with the implementation of the WAAS but it is not necessary for automotive applications.
I returned my 660 after a few weeks and got the 200 and I love it. Easy to use and no extra crap to pay for that I will never need anyway.
The only thing I do not like about it is that it does not come with a quick release cradle so I have to plug the cord into the back of the unit if I remove it from the car. No biggie since I never remove it anyway.
My 2 cents.
