Pharos, whose GPS units we've actually tested in smartphone form, has just released two entry level models for the price of $199 and $299. The Pharos Drive GPS 250, which is $299, has a SiRFStarIII GPS receiver, touchscreen display, and automatic night view switching when it detects that the sun's gone.

Both run off NAVTEQ maps and both have a 5-7 hour operation time. [Pharos]
