garmin vs. tom tom

[shiny alero]

well, my mom has a tom tom 1 3rd generation and i just bought the garmin nuvi 200. so far it seems wayyy more complicated then the tom tom and just in general seems like the extra 30$ from the tom tom was a waste. what are your opinions?

I've never played around with a tom tom, but I like my Nuvi 360.

around here, tomtom wins cuz it comes with standard with canadian maps. garmin does not.

My Garmin said it had all of North America. Of course, I haven't been close to a border yet. The POI is a little out of date, but that'll happen with any model that isn't brand new. I know you can get updates.

I just like it because you can change the car icon. I found a MINI that looks just like mine. :)

Why didnt you buy them from me! You live in the same town for god sakes! lol. Tomtoms tend to be easier to use. But i guess it all depends on your preferences. For the price, you gotta go with the 3rd edition over the nuvi (both currently at $199)
