You don't have to spend $500 for a gps - buy software. I have both Microsoft Streets & Trips 2009 and Garmin Mobile PC. Both can be had for well under $100 each. They run on my laptop, which I use for both trucking (GPS, logs, weather lookup, etc) and entertainment (games, tv, movies, etc).
Not to mention the fact that you can download a 60 day trial of Streets & Trips that is 100% complete and not limited in any way whatsoever. You don't have to go into it blindly and spend money before you know if it'll be of use to you or not.
