Garmin makes about all the gps navigation panels for aircraft. If we are trusting garmin to put airliners on the runway after flying through the clouds, that makes it my choice for a car.
Also: There are two major map companies. Navteq and tele-atlas. Navteq is an american company and used by garmin and one other company (maybe magellan). Tele-atlas is a Europeean company. Tom-Tom (also Europeean) and another company uses tele-atlas. I have googled reports on both and the navteq maps are always rated better in the good ole US of A. Tele-atlas does better in europe. Depends upon where you drive I guess.
We just got a Prius with a 6" nav screen. The map is by Navteq. It doesn't have all the restaurants updated and accurate but good enough. Not sure who makes their gps unit. I don't go anywhere I'm going to get lost but it is fun to dink around with until I almost run off the road. If I ever needed another toy for my pickup, I'd probably get a garmin but wait till they came out with a 6" screen so it would be easy to glance at and see. I'm not sure about the 4" ones.
