Portable GPS system - which do you like ?

I do a lot of traveling for work ( Thursday, started in Alamagordo NM, drove to Albuquerque, flew to O'hare, and drove to Pontiac IL ). I am finally going to get a nav system. I have heard of Harmon Kardon, TomTom, and Magellen. Does anyone have model or feature preferences/recommendations ?

I have and use a Garmin Quest 2 and love it! It is preloaded with detail maps of the entire U.S. and Canada.

I have Garmin. I dont know the model # off hand. I choose that one cuz of the reflection issues on the others and it has bigger maps w/ night/day feature. The others only see on one angle(not on 45 deg angle).

It works great, but whatever maps they are using have a couple of serious flaws. For example, there is a road going right down the middle of my 15 acres including through my house. I think I would have at least noticed the construction.
