-touch screen

-expandable memory
-ability to save route(s) taken
-ability to save multiple destinations

Thanks for any info! :)

I have a Nextar 2707. I picked it up at Canadian Tire for $449.00. I had looked at both the Garmin and Tom Tom products and used a friends Garmin...a 3 year old model, prior to buying.
I am very happy with the Nextar. For me it was the price and the large, 7 inch, touch screen that sold me. I have been using if for about four months and don't have a complaint. It has all of the features you list above with the exception of expandable memory. I am not sure why you would need that. It comes with 64mb of memory and a 40 gig hardrive. It also handles mp3's. It comes pre-loaded with full Canadian maps and two million Canadian Points of Interest. It also comes with the U.S. insterstate maps, but only the interstates. You can update it to include full U.S. maps and another two million POI's for $29.95. Also at CT.
Here is the url for their site.
