Nuvi 205 is square shaped 3.5" screen
Nuvi 205w is wider 4.3" screen and as we all know, bigger is better :011:

It is available in Carrefour @ 1,499/- http://www.ic4uae.com/Product.aspx?productid=11046

Oregon is as good as the above mentioned GPSs but the only drawback that it has a small screen like a mobile ... while off-roading .. you need something VISIBLE

1] The 276C is not sold any more and as per AMIT you cannot upload maps as they are not available. (Lots of usual BS)
2] The Montana600 is available for 2500

Montana 600 and 650 is also available in Adventure HQ at Times Square, Dubai. Price of Montana 650 I saw last month was 2,200/-.
