personally , i like megellan product better , i currently own two of they ... but magellan gp do not have the pedestrian mode on any of they unit , garmin do ... so i buy this unit specifically for that purpose ... the pedestrian mode be great for when i be in a unfamiliar town ... i park the car ... punch in where be i , save to favorite ... and after hour of wander at which point i have no clue as to where i park ... this unit or pretty much all they unit have this function , will give you step by step direction back to you car ... how neat be that ...
