A current model GPS should come with plenty of pre-installed, free features. Look for pre-installed maps for easy plug and play action (i.e., you get in your car and go). Older or no-name cheap models might require online/disk downloads. Life is busy enough - business travelers don't have time for that nonsense.
Also look for a GPS with just the right combination of free features versus subscription-based services.
Travelers doing business in many major cities (Los Angeles, Washington DC, Seattle) will find an up-to-the minute traffic report subscription a true boon. Traffic rerouting for construction zones is also a winner for urban area businessmen and women.
Here is the list of bare minimum portable GPS features most useful to the Business Traveler:
Remember to write off the price of the GPS on your business taxes!
