Here's one for $25 including the USB GPS receiver:

Since the receiver is worth about $20-30 that's (roughly) free for the software. Year-old mapping software drops in price pretty fast, and IME most roads don't change that much - I jumped from 2006 to 2009 because my MSDNAA copies don't get updated every year.
