I have a Garmin. My wife has a Magellan. UI is much better on the Garmin IMHO. Easier to use, although finding a location on the Magellan is easier because it dims letters/numbers that don't apply as you type (its version of intellesense?). Hers doesn't seem to have a battery and must be plugged in to the cigarette lighter however I am sure it is a lower model; it was a gift from my last employer and they bought 2000 of them).
Jack's comment about maps is dead-on. I've had mine for a few years and am getting the "Map is out of date" warning every time I turn it on. Not a big deal, as where I am going isn't changing much. I think Garmin wants $69 for an update, I haven't bothered although I did get a discount coupon with my change-of-address kit from the PO so maybe I'll look into it again. Used them on our drive from Sioux Falls to Los Angeles. Great for finding restaurants, gas stations, stores... you name it.

I'm looking for a GPS system for my car. I don't know the first thing about lifetime maps, support, traffic, weather, ease of use, etc.. Does anyone have any preferences or things I should avoid?pr [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/005301cb4ed9$ab7fa490$027eed...@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
