My wife has a TomTom xl1200 (I think that’s the model) and uses a Garmin Nuvi for work. She said that she likes the TomTom better for finding features etc. Plus the screen is bigger. ---

I have a garmin nuvi 850. It’s the second GPS I’ve owned and I love it. I got the newer model with the large screen. Has a great list of POI’s and I can (when I’m ready) buy a package where you get a lifetime of map updates for your device for the cost of a year’s worth. I’ve used a tomtom go unit my friend has and I like mine a lot better. Plus, it came with a remote that activates a voice command feature. I nice and useful add on, I’ve found. ---

i have the nuvi 255wt, and am enjoying it. i’ve owned a couple different ones. so for I’m enjoying this one the most. It doesn’t have some of the additional features that the other ones that I’ve had had, but it gets the job done ---

I’ve been very satisfied with my Nuvi 660. I bought Kara a Nuvi 1350w for her bday. Altjought it has some features that I wish were on the 660, I don’t like it as much. The touchscreen kinda sucks. It is very frustrating to use. You can’t have an attention tone like you can on the 660 either. You either have the voice (pain in The ass when you are on the phone alot), or you can mute it. When you mute it, you lose the keypad tones. Minor gripes but I use the gps alot. My Nuvi 660 is now 3 years old and it hasn’t had one issue. ---

Men should not have GPS units. Women should not have them either, as they should not be allowed to operate motor vehicles in the first place. ---

Women should not have them either, as they should not be allowed to operate motor vehicles in the first place. True information. Use a map. GPS eliminates the girlfriend/wife bitching about not stopping to ask for directions. And half the time people are paying attention to the GPS telling them when to turn and not the actual road.
