If you use either at all for car navigator you WILL want to get City Navigator North America (another $100 or so), the base maps that come with the unit are virtually unusable for driving anywhere off major highways.
Do you use NiMH batteries? I want to be sure. With Magellan, it did not
mention anything about the type of batteries, and it turns out the voltage
level for NiMH batteries is not high enough for this unit. It would be nice
if you use NiMH batteries and it works.
Thank you all for the helpful replies. I've been a Magellan person, but I think
I'll give Garmin a try.
