I have a Nuvi 200W, basic unit, no extra bells and whistles, but it meets my needs. The prices keep dropping on electronic gadgets, the replacement for mine is the 205w, $160 on eBay today, with free shipping.
In a year or two, I'll get a new unit and recycle the current probably by giving it to my daughter.
I'd hate to have a lifetime subscription and be locked into a unit when something better might come along.
