I will apologize for the long review to follow -lrb- I usually try to keep it to one screen -rrb- . over the past three year I have use three different gp unit from three different manufacturer . I think a side by side comparison might be useful . the technology continue to advance , as do the feature set offer in the way of traffic reporting\/rerouting and map update , so I will try to stick the general feature set\/usability of each unit unless it pertain to a feature that I can not see buy a gp without . the three GPS unit be a Motorola Motonav TN765T , TomTom XL 350TM and Garmin Nuvi 760 . Motorola Motonav TN765T pro : \* best screen resolution of the three \* fast trip calculation\/recalculation and voice input or destination be a great feature \* best overall display and on screen information content pertain to speed , direction , etc. . - light weight - plenty of expansion feature -lrb- at a cost -rrb- - 2d or 3d map render - phone Bluetooth integration be easy to setup - satellite lock be fast and stable con : - the mount be wonderfully articulate , so that you can mount and adjust it to you heart 's content , but it vibrates\/jiggles constantly in my car so that it make it hard to read the display - Motorola decide to place a couple of control on the back of the unit , and I find that I be constantly trigger they while adjust the unit - can you say advertisement ? I know you could - traffic information be often slow to load or incorrect -lrb- either I be already fifteen minute into a delay when it finally load , or it report a delay on a stretch of highway that be completely open -rrb- , but the TomTom and Garmin be no better - use with Bluetooth next to useless , even with the top up and window close my Miata be too noisy to make this usable -lrb- all of these gp unit rate the same in this respect , so I will not bother to repeat this -rrb- - limited map update -lrb- I think it be 6 month or less -rrb- - the accompany software never work successfully on my Windows 7 64bit system -lrb- maybe they have remedy this by now , at the time Windows 7 have just come out and Motorola be apparently not concern as they support personnel never respond to my contact -rrb- TomTom XL 350TM pro : \* lifetime map update be very nice -lrb- update be restricted to quarterly -rrb- - interface be easy to navigate \* traffic monitor include -lrb- no ad or expiration -rrb- -lrb- however , it be still often wrong -rrb- \* plenty of poi , many available via download -lrb- on the con side , the parent company do not seem to maintain these pous list or the accompany graphic , go figure , you would think that Starbucks and McDonald 's would want you to know just where to find all of they location and be able to readily identify they from the little icon -rrb- - map color modification , though I have not be able to get it to look just like the Garmin , which I find to be the best of the bunch in they default setting - I like the on screen information content , the essential be there , but the Motorola rule this feature - accompany software work well con : - mount bracket be good but not great , I get the least vibration , but it often break loose on I , such that I need to verify the ring be rotate fully clockwise -lrb- a simple lock mechanism would have be a great addition -rrb- - I have be bite a couple of time by allow the unit to reroute I past delay , beware that it do not monitor surface street traffic -lrb- I try to bypass the local fair highway traffic only to have it reroute I onto the surface street that wind directly past the fair turn a 30 minute delay into a 90 minute delay -rrb- - satellite lock be often slow to connect when the unit be turn on , especially in cloudy weather and can lose lock if the weather be poor - limited set of downloadable voice and vehicle avatar -lrb- unless you be willing to pay -rrb- Garmin Nuvi 760 pro : \* simplest interface , intuitive , require little or no documentation to get start use the device \* the mount bracket be by far the most secure with the least vibration and the easiest to fasten and remove the unit - best set of downloadable feature from voice to vehicle avatar , most free - accompany software work well con : - no map update - 3 month free traffic information , then you pay to subscribe to the free information -lrb- I see that both of these item be available in the newer version of the Garmin product -rrb- - while I prefer the default color scheme of the Garmin , the overall graphic display on this devise be below the minimal display I would expect from a GPS now overall impression : I find the Garmin to be the easiest to use and I notice that the current version include many of the feature that I find preferable in the other manufacturer 's model . I currently use the TomTom as the most functional of the unit that I currently own , however , if I be to buy a new unit at this time , I would opt for a Garmin base upon my experience with the above unit . p - -rrb-
