GPS - Magellan or Garmin

[Gas Sucks]

I have had both and ready to buy a new one, I liked the navigation of the Magellan but the Speed of the Garmin, i bought a magellan roadmate in 2005 and used it until 2008 then bought a Garmin, so im sure Magellan has faster start up and redirecting by now.

Any input from you guys on this, im thinking about the Magellan Roadmate 1700 or Maestro 4700, not sure on the Garmin though, the reviews i have been reading are saying the Garmins are freezing up alot.

run down to the local airport and stick your head in and airplane, you aint gonna see any Magellan in there

that being said, i just saw the new bigger screen magellan the other day in costco...looks like they are upping the ante

Get a Garmin have had the same one for years. Still works great. Just put one in the mother in laws pickup and it is awesome...has the blue tooth for phone and everthing.
