Does anyone know of any reasonable cost GPSs suitable for both street

There's no such thing as a "reasonable cost" aviation GPS.

That said, I'm pretty happy with my 296, both in the air and on the
ground. I have the optional car kit that gives you a charger cord with a
speaker for spoken turn-by-turn directions, a CD with detail maps, and a
bean-bag mount so that I can throw it on the dash of a rental car after I
arrive at the destination airport.


It sounds perfect, but the cost is unreasonable. I could afford a
street GPS, and aviation GPS, and have money left over for the price
of a Garmin 296. Is there maybe a lesser cost option?
