Garmin vs. Magellan GPS

Return it and get a Garmin 260w. I believe Best Buy has them for $189. I paid $260 like 5 months ago. Simple to use and works great. Widescreen as well.
shmokes:
Get the cheapest one you can get that has text-to-speech. That is the important threshold feature that distinguishes the good ones from the not-so-good ones. It's really a must have.
Level42:
Both suck. Get a TomTom.
:laugh:

The Garmin 260w has text-to-speech.
Also, it will tell you which side of the street your final destination is on. This is an important feature that surprisingly not all GPS units have.

I could do without the text to speech. I just turn it off due to the annoyance of it. I used maps for around six years in my business, so by seeing where I am at on the unit, I can figure out my turns in real time without much confusion or frustration. What I like most about these is that it freed my brain up to think about other things like taking phone calls. Having whatever percentage of my brain power back I was using to figure out where the turns were is invaluable.
