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.

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.

mccoy178:
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.
