Tell me about portable auto GPS

I'm looking for a portable (as opposed to permanently mounted) auto GPS unit at the lower end of the price scale just to travel in unfamiliar areas. It looks like the major manufacturers are Garmin, Magellan and TomTom. Are any brands better or worse than others? Are there features worth paying more for? Etc.
