Navigation product supporting Map-like use (orientation)?

| I want to buy an affordable, light-weight GPS navigation product soon.
Entry-level Garmin products seem to be good enough, with one
exception:
I have played around with one (Nuvi 200), and it seems you always have
to provide a street name as a target so it can calculate a route. But
sometimes, I just want to go "downtown" without knowing an actual
street name, so I need to find one first.
Is there an affordable product that will allow me to look at an area
(e.g. downtown Berlin) just like I would on a printed map and select a
street or address as a destination then?
Thanks.

Most allow you to browse a map and select a destination by tapping the
map at the chosen destination.
