I’d go with the most recent models. That means a 1xxx unit. If you’re looking for a low cost model, start with the nuvi 12xx series, or 13xx if you want a 4.3″ wide screen unit.

Rich which of the nuvi’s has the best internal antenna? In case I chance the Nuvi In my FJ (mounted under the roof overhang) I want to have the best chances of good sat pickup.
Gracias

Will it go into mass storage mode if you connect it to your computer? If so, you could try updating it with more recent firmware. The best way to do that is with Garmin’s WebUpdater program. If that doesn’t work, back up your favorites (in the device under garmin/curerent.gpx) and do a hard reset. You can find instructions by searching Garmin support for reset for your model.
