I’m planning to get a garmin gps but when I looked online, there were so many series available. Baffled by the variety, I don’t know which one is right for me. I need something preferably 4.3 inches, a speaking gps, real time traffic alerts and reroutes etc. I don’t really care about bluetooth or picture views. Can someone give me differences between all the models?

if you want traffic updates the garmin that has it built in starts at the garmin 370. in other words you can get a lower model but you have to also buy the receiver to get traffic updates
but the “good” traffic receiver starts at the nuvi 680 with is powered my msn. not only will it tell you about the traffic but it will also tell you the times of local movies in the area, local gas stations fuel prices, and weather.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NVZ…
to further assist you the link has a chart called “Which nüvi is Best for You?” which will have a list of different garmins and the features they have so you can decide which garmin best fits your needs
You can see a full list of Garmin compare page on Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc website at http://www.autonav2000.com/Compare/index… if you are interested in the Nuvi 6xx, 7xx or 8xx you can find the comparison on this link http://www.autonav2000.com/Compare/Nuvi6…
If you wish to buy a economy model with the larger 4.3″ display and Text to speech consider the Nuvi 260W and the Nuvi 255Whttp://www.autonav2000.com/Compare/Garmi…
You can also rent a GPS from GPS4Rent to test drive and see which model will fit your needs best at http://www.gps4rent.com/
My personal recommendation to you is if you are concern about price, try ordering the Nuvi 260W NOH at $239.00 and if you are looking for a great deal with all the features, the Nuvi 760 NOH is an excellent deal at $329.
Hope this helps
I think for your requirement, the Garmin nuvi 260W would be perfect. Check out the review below:
