Garmin StreetPilot 7200 - Large Screen, with XM Radio Traffic and Weather Maps.
Although the XM Radio features cost extra, in our opinion they are worth the price. This Garmin unit pronounces the auto-routed street names with remarkable fidelity. With XM Radio, you also get 160 digital channels of commercial-free music, and over 30 channels of News, Sports, Talk & Entertainment transmitted though your FM radio (if selected.)
