Check Amazon and Walmart. I bought my dh a TomTom for Christmas on Amazon. It was the 4.3 inch screen with voice for $89.99 with free shipping and no tax! I think they have others on sale too.

Also...check slickdeals.net. They always list all the good internet deals.

Hope this is helpful!

On Tuesday night I was at Office Depot and they had the Tom Tom One for $79.99. Had a bunch lined up behind the counter.

I am not sure what features you are looking for, but be careful with the ones that are under 100. My husband and I bought one for his grandma that "talks" however, we found out that it doesn't have text to speech, meaning it doesnt say "turn left on main st" it will just say turn left in 1 mile... leaving his grandmother to either read the gps and wreck or be watching her miles and wreck... we are returning it and getting one that is on sale for 100 at walmart, it is a magellan.

I am also looking for a GPS and want to make sure it gives the street name to turn onto and not just turn left in 3.1 miles. What should the description say for me to know it will name street names?

This is a good chart to tell you which Garmins have Text to Speech. And I prefer a Garmin over any of the other brands.

This one is $109, free shipping, has TTS.

I have a garmin and I hate the dumb thing. It always takes us to places that don't exist. And once while my husband was traveling to work it said turn left in blah blah.... had he turned, he would have turned into the mississippi river, literally.

My husband has a cheap GPS - Me and my paper map.

In Buffalo a truck driver was following the instructions on his GPS for a night delivery. He turned right, went 100 feet and next thing he knew was in the river
He was OK but will never just follow an odd road without the high beams on!
