Garmin vs. Tom Tom

[zhong]

Which GPS you like better ? Garmin or Tom Tom ?


I like Tom Tom because I find it easier to use, plus it is usually cheaper with more functions. The simulation is easier to use on the Tom Tom.

I have both and I prefer Garmin it recognized my phone through blue tooth easier both do the job though

what model is your garmin

I've got 2. One is older model 350 and still works fine. New one is 1490T and is a 5". All the bells and whistles and pairs up with your cell. Trafic is also included. Tiger Direct has them on for $149 Can. refurbs. Nice thing is you can find the new maps out there and easy in put in your GPS

just got my first gps for christmas wife bought it for me its a tomtom xl 335 se and so far i love it my brother in law has a garmin says its to complicated and maps are expensive but I can't say cause never used one

[slick1mike]

I have both and will agree garmin maps are more expensive. I find the tom tom is fine if you just do city driving but compared to the garmin in rural areas it really sucks !!!! Over all if I was just going to have one it would definately be the garmin. Oh and magellan, forget about it !!!! you are way better off with a map and compass than one of those pieces of garbage, jmho!!!!

Garmin for North America hands down

[all-world1]

I haven't used the Tom Tom, but I sure like my Garmin. I've got the 1350 LMT

A word of advice....pay the extra and get a model with the lifetime map update capability. You'll save a small fortune in the end.

[kidhandyman]

Ive got google navi on my android and I love it hands down over the other two, Ive had ad luck with the other ones

[Ninjalicker]

although I haven't owned a Tom Tom, I love my Garmin! The bluetooth feature on the model I have is awesome!

I got a 255w garmin. about 4 years old i updated the maps to 2011 thanks to a special site it was free. it was easy to update but when i went to edmonton it doesnt show me what lane to be on which really sucks. now maybe it is justin the usa but a friend of mine has a tom tom and in the usa it shows and tells them what lanes to be if u want to turn i think my next one will be a tom tom
