I would like to do some really long distance trips and the gps seems like a good idea.
Costco.com: Offering thousands of items you won’t find in your local Costco. or
GPS Discount, Inc. sells name brand GPS receivers, fishfinders, marine chart plotters and topographical mapping software along with other outdoor items.

Price - what do you want to do with it? Full on route-planning, waterproof, motorcycle-friendly Zumo 550 is about 600$ these days,
or you can get a Nuvi 200 for ~150$ on Craigslist that is a 'simpler' solution.

If you buy used, just make sure it's not too old, as the roads and maps do change and buying something 3-4 years old most likely means you've gotta spend another 100$ on maps to make it truly useful for traversing the continent.
