keep an eye on woot.com. They have some decent and inexpensive GPS stuff every so often. You just need to be patient.

Geeks has cheap GPS stuff, can't vouch for any of it personally though:

I've had a few different GPS's ...

Garmin StreetPilot I3 :- Decent software, quick startup & good maps, but let down by weird controls and small screen ... also the fact that it looks like a plasticy mid 70's computer terminal doesn't help.

HP iPAQ RX1955 with TomTom 5.xx & OEM Antenna Kit :- Startup nice and quick, software ok-ish, maps truly awful. You'd get half way down a street, and it would just drop off. Crap.

Magellan RM300 :- Decent Touch Display, good maps, easy to use software, a bit naff looking, but comes with sturdy windshield boom arm. Downside, got no batteries so has to be mains or vehicle powered.
