If I were to get a Nuvi today, it would be something in the 600 series or higher, probably in the 800 series, but it would have integrated FM traffics, for sure. An 860, 770, 710, 670 or 660, in that order. As Dave points out, the 200 series are mainly throwaways and for the occasional traveler who might use it on vacation. They don't start getting to be a serious tool until at least 350, and after that it's more bells and whistles, some of which are must-haves for me.
