have a horrible experience with a Magellan so I figure I would try Garmin . what a incredible difference . I have the Magellan and it last 4 week and I be ready to throw it out ! just get the Garmin not long ago but be already impressed and know enought to share my thought . like : incredibly fast acquisition time . the Magellan could take 20 minute , it be painful and useless due to the time . the Nuvi lock in , even when move within a minute . incredible ! the build in battery allow you to preprogram a trip and then go . very intuitive and easy to use . the Magellan be easy to use but it take so darn long it be render useless . it seem to route very well unlike the Magellan . dislike . I be a insurance agent and travel every road in my area . even this unit have trouble on some of the road . this be the reason it get 4 of 5 star . overall I be ecstatic with this unit . ca not speak for TomTom or any other manufacturer but from my experience , Garmin kick Magellans behind .
