I went to best buy originally for a garmin because of the popularity of it. i ended up buying a tom tom because it had a better deal at the time. after one day of use with the tom tom i "thought" it was too complicated and returned it for a garmin. BAD move! the maps on the garmin dont even come close to comparing to the tom tom. there are many different routes to my work but the back roads are always the best choice. the tom tom uploaded the route i take every day in 1 try of the detour button, the garmin never recoginized that route untill i came within 5 miles of the destination. garmin kept wanting me to turn off onto the highway. also, i live in an apartment complex with a few different turns and streets. the tom tom knew everyone of them while the garmin actually told me to make a right into my development when i knew to make a left. although the tom tom is known to be a little more complicated because it has more menu options, that isnt always a bad thing. once you learn how to use them they are way more helpfull. put it this way- i had the 2 most popular nav systems in 2 days and my opinion, hands down, is the tom tom. now i am returning to besy buy one last time to get my tom tom back.
What's great about it: Menu is easy to use
What's not so great: It's not as great as everyone says it is!
