Garmin or TomTom

[3ddiver]

I am looking for a gps unit and I think I have it narrowed down to a Tom Tom one or a Garmin Street pilot c330. Does any one have any opinions about either of them?

I'd say Garmin...soley b/c I HATE the durn Tom Tom commercials. That, and Garmin has been around for a little longer and has a better track record.

They claim the Garmin gets you down to a 10 foot section of accuracy, and the Tom Tom is about 25 feet. Is that 15 feet going to make a big differance? Thats up to you. I use a Garmin 3??. I forget the numbers, but it works great. So If you want to be in the cool guy group.....get the Tom Tom LMAO!!!

p.s. The Edge A2 has the Tom Tom system built in it.

I have the Garmin c330 and it simply WORKS... No other way to put it.... Garmin has been around much longer then Tom Tom and longer then most others for a reason....

Just my $.02....

I think the 330c is what I have also. Good stuff.

One feature the tom has is the ability to preview your route, does the Garmin offer this as well? I cant find anywhere that it says it does. The tom also says you can pick an alternate route. Garmin? I think the Garmin looks like a better unit but I like those two features.

Garmin it is. I stepped up to the C530, big brown truck brought it yesterday. I havent played with it too much yet but it looks like a pretty fun gadget. Thanks for all of the input.
