There are tons of reviews on gpspassion to help you pick the right one.

As far showing were I was on the map it was dead on. And if I drove at 30mph to compensate for the 2 second update of my GPS it did really well. My concerns rest in the way it chooses to route and the fact that two points I picked were both mapped to the wrong end (not side) of the road.

I've been looking at GPSPassion and the forums and found that the reviews were good and the forums better.
