Able to download maps of a city to it, and know "Oh 34th street is 3 blocks ahead" Like have the map and then a little dot that is me so I know where i am in relation to the streets.

Set way points. If I leave my car, I can make that a waypoint, then when i get lost i can see "Oh my car is 1.2 miles that way"

Be able to record my routes.

That is all the things that I would really like it to have. I am looking to spend no more than $200 used. If you recommend one that is over 200 ill prob. look for it on ebay.

I'm not sure if those features are possible for around $200, but I can try at least hope

If you recommend one that you have, post saying the pros/cons that would be sweet.

Thanks guys,
Matt
There's not much you can buy for $200.00 so you'll have to buy used and Ebay. The Garmin Legend does what you want but I think a used one and MetroGuide software will cost you more than $200.00 even used.

I have the Legend and won't travel without it. I went from Trenton New Jersey all the way to Newark NJ or about 64 miles without a map. I did discover a bug in the system but Garmin told me a way around it so next time I'm ready!
