Want to buy a Portable GPS system...

[Garland]

So I'm driving around in LA and have never used one of these GPS things before. I borrow a friend's (Mio Standalone 310x GPS mounted on windshield) for a few days:



Despite a few conflicts with Yahoo and Google map directions, it has served me well. I’m thinking since I want to travel a lot for the next few months and rent cars and such, and since I’m really horrible at directions (I have absolutely no sense of direction) this could really save my life.

I know there's some other post on this about a year ago, but I wanted an up-to-date prospective.

Extra things I want:
MP3 player (I believe Mio 310x has it)
Bluetooth capability for my phone (not as important to me since I don’t talk on the phone tons)
Traffic report.
Points of interest, History, preloaded maps and probably lots of stuff already standard.
Anything extras I should be pining for or be alert about?

Any strong recommendations? The one I tried seemed very nice, but I wanted to get a better feel of what’s out there from people in OOT.

Thanks,

Garland
