Great GPS, Far superior to TomTom XLS

on January 24, 2010

Posted by: Josh23

from Dayton, OH

I had a TomTom One XLS for a year before finally picking up a Garmin. I wanted to throw the TomTom out the window on multiple occasions. So far, the Garmin seems far better at giving accurate directions and far less annoying. One big plus for Garmin over TomTom is that Garmins actually tell you which side of the road to look on or for your destination.

Over a year ago when I shopped for GPSs I looked and thought reviews were similar for both TomTom units and Garmin units, so I figured they were on par with each other. Not true. TomToms are garbage compared to Garmins.

My brother wanted to buy my TomTom off of me and I told him I couldn't do that in good conscience because it would infuriate him just like it infuriated me. I sold it on ebay... still feel a little guilty. Not that the TomTom was broken, it still worked as good as new. But new or used that TomTom was junk.

Garmin all the way.

What's great about it: Accurate directions, Format map is displayed in when driving, good windshield mount, sleek appearance

What's not so great: Just like any GPS, it can still freak out in a parking lot or when your not on a road.

I would recommend this to a friend!

1440x900 monitors?

Can I search for 1440x900 monitors? I need a dual monitor solution for my Dell Latitude E6400.

Why do you need a 1440x900 monitor? I'm using a 1920x1080 with my XPS M1530, which has 1440x900 display, and it works great. The laptop is running at 1440x900 and my second monitor is running at full 1080p. However, this might not work right using a vga connection (blue screw in plug type).

My setup:
Windows 7
Laptop has Nvidia 8600 GT
Using HDMI connection
