I like this one, because it is small and cheap, but it may have too little memory.

I have the Magellan RoadMate 700 (it's not as sexified as it sounds):
I like it, because it has all USA maps in HD memory; no dicking around with downloading or "managing" maps in flash memory with your PC. The maps are pretty good, and it has a cool feature where if you miss a turn or otherwise ignore its directions, it will simply re-map to your destination from your current location. Keep taking wrong turns, and it will just keep recalculating the route. (My wife says I'm more likely to listen to the female spoken word if it comes from a machine.)
Only downside is that it's not handheld --- it needs a separate DC power supply, so you'll be leaving it in your car. If you're into geocaching or any of that hiking shit, look elsewhere.
