What are peoples take on some of the new GPS systems out there?

I saw this MotoNav and was interested in the Lane Guidance feature. It tells you which lane is the right lane to take and it had quite a few other great features too.



I posted a pic of it but they have more pics and their full specs on the main site, http://www.motorola.com/motonav

I just picked up a Sony Nav-U NV-U44 over the holiday break for a little over $80.  It's not a widescreen unit, but I was drawn to it for the inclusion of Canadian maps, the lane guidance feature you mention, and the price ($80 is near the base Garmin Nuvis which don't map the Great White North).  Doesn't hurt that it also is easy to use and sports a crisp, vibrant display.

Thus far, I've been happy with it, though it seems Navteq is a little behind on their map data - a grocery store that's existed since late 2007 doesn't show on my unit, which uses a "2008a" map...
