What do you like about your GPS?

I want to purchase a GPS for my car. I use a Garmin for work (probably a couple years old), and am pretty comfortable with the lay out. The only thing is, I find Mapquest to be a little (or a lot) inaccurate half the time. Someone mentioned it needs to be updated, but I have the same trouble when using it on the computer. Another friend bought a TomTom and it uses a different map system and he loves it. What is your opinion?

Update:

I actually looked @ the NUVI today, awesome!

    Yes, I would highly suggest a Nuvi, they are great! Also your other Garmin is a little older, it can be expected that the maps will be off, because as we all know roads change pretty frequently. If you were to buy a new Nuvi, it would of course have the most current information on every road in America. They can also do lots of other cool stuff (depending on the model) such as get gas prices and movie schedules in your area, detect traffic jams and automatically route you around them, play MP3's, read audio books to you, connect to your blue-tooth phone and act as a caller ID and speaker phone, and the coolest thing I think is mine has a travel guide which will translate certain phrases into other languages and speak them for you!

    If you get another Garmin (especially a NUVI) you wont be disappointed!

    I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 350 for work and I really enjoy it. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to locate the satellites when you first turn it on, but other than that I have no complaints. My Garmin is always accurate and I drive around LA for a living, so I definitely put it to the test.
