Tom Tom or Garmin GPS?

[BluRaySS]

I know little about car GPS units, but grew tired of staring at my iphone for directions while driving, so I bought a refurb TomTom 355XL from Walmart online for $88. Big screen, auto darkening, comes with windshield mount and works fine.

I'm sure there are better, but I like to just type in the destination and go. The data is accurate and easy to view. I'm buying another for the wife's car.

I don't blame you at all! I just really didn't care for the interface on the Tomtom. If it works for ya, go for it!

Far and away the Garmin is better. My kids named the lady's voice "Carla".

Garmins darn solid.

And she talks in a sweet sultry Australian accent.

I thought she only talked that way to me.

My Garmin was really reliable and had a good interface, but I use the Tom Tom app on my iPhone now(doesnt require 3G service, uses the internal GPS and mount extends the range).

I know OP has already chosen, now just commenting for benefit of all who may be curious...

Used my folks' Garmin while in D.C. this summer. GREAT little unit.
