Looking to get a stand alone GPS as a gift. Which one is the best?

Nice screen size, display, and free traffic is preferred. Along with frequent map updates, and quick gps locking.

Looking to spend under $350
 
a 3rd Gen iPad wifi with the right app and a GPSr dongle would be quite nice... and have utility when not in use as a GPS...
 
So far I'm looking at the Garmin 2597(5 inch), 2797(7 inch), and the 3597(5 inch more expensive).

I'm leaning towards getting the 2797, but I will probably need to see how big the 7 inch is in person.

This will be for my Aunt, who drives a 2015 Honda CRV without the GPS package. Her eyes are not the best, but I don't want to get something too damn big.
