I personally have extensive experience with Magellan and Garmin.

I prefer the Garmin BY FAR.

The Garmin C320 was on sale recently for $199, a STEAL.

The Garmin nuvi 350 was on sale at CostCo for $350, a great great deal also.

The strengths of the Garmin units are great maps (NavTeq which are the most accurate and reliable). TomTom units use TeleAtlas, which are not as accurate in the US as NavTeq and that to me is a big negative.

TeleAtlas is more accurate in Europe, so if you use the GPS in Europe go with TomTom. But in the US I recommend Garmin.

The Garmin units are also VERY user friendly and intuitive. You won't need the user manual at all.

I would buy a Garmin FTW!!
