For years the U.S. market for portable GPS car "a little something like this:
Garmin is for users that are well adapted to the new technologies and can use all the options and settings to make the most of the designed device. Computer.
TomTom was the least technical know-how to benefit from new technology, but they were willing to serve more to pay for something simpler. Mac
Magellan is useful, but largely obsolete. Commodore.
But shrinking the difference between the Garmin and TomTom. TomTom is the most technically advanced and changed the Garmin. Garmin is getting easier to use and fractures. But overall profit for me, with the TomTom, which was a surprise for me to go.
I cut my teeth Garmin, which was originally, but TomTom has grown on me. GUI is fast then began and ended with the satellite. The menus are easy to store, and the buttons are well prepared. Although we should at least from time to time, trying to compose in one direction while driving. Then to use but easy. Once you get the hang of watching only.
SUMMARY: At the moment of truth, equality of all people (particularly accurate), I will stay to serve with which one faster / easier. TomTom wins .
Got my tomtom over the weekend, works right out the box, backed up before installing new lifetime maps, took a couple of hours but its fine. Great picture and colors. 4th tomtom and still loving it. Love the lifetime maps updates. Great price for unit. Works very well. Love tomtoms. Fast to turn on and find signal. When installing suction cup onto windshield, rotate left to unlock first, then mount onto windshield and then rotate disk to the right to tighten and lock in place. Once that locks, it does not come off.
