The 2009 edition NAVTEQ map updates for Garmin GPS devices are now available at the Garmin website.

Also, Garmin has added some new models to the Nuvi lineup. The Nuvi 255W has a lot of features for a reasonable price. The higher end 700 and 800 models have been updated to provide route planning and trip logging of up to 10,000 visited points.

A new MSN Direct option is available on some units for automatic, real time updates on local traffic, weather, gas prices and more (plug-in receiver and subscription required). There's also a new feature* on some models that lets you download addresses from Google Maps and Mapquest.

UPDATE: *The Google and Mapquest point of interest download feature works with any Garmin USB attached GPS. I just tried it out with my Nuvi 650 and it works great. First you install the Garmin Commmunicator browser plugin from here. (Have your GPS hooked up via USB so it can verify correct installation.) Then when looking at a Google map, you can click "send", select GPS, select "Garmin", add an optional note (and title if there isn't one) and click "send". The Garmin Communicator screen opens for confirmation, click "send to gps" and you're done. It adds the address entry to the "Favorites" folder on my Nuvi 650.
