What brand of Vehicle GPS is better Garmin or TomTom?

I know both brands are very good but I'm not sure which one is more accurate. I am currently looking at the Garmin Nuvi 760 and the TomTom Go 920. Any suggestions?


I just bought a Tom Tom, but I used a garmin when i rented car in Reno. I love the Garmin. I think i will return my Tom Tom and get a Garmin. I used my Garmin in my home town. It told me to turn left on a 1 way street that went to the right, it tried to kill me. The other thing about the Garmin I like is when you miss a turn it will automatically re-calculate the route, the Tom Tom requires to press some button and go through some prompts to re-calculate.

For what reason would YOU use a vehicle GPS tracking device?

I am refering to a tracking device hidden under your car's dash that allows you to see where the car is at all times, NOT a navigation system. Would you use it to track a cheating spouse, or your kids, for theft recovery, or is there another reason?
Wow! I didn't expect so many replies so quickly! I am a distributor for one, and I was curious to see what the public vote would be.


I'd use it to track my horse.
I don't drive. :P

Extra Garmin GPS vehicle and voice downloads?

I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 265T GPS navigator and I love it so much! I just went to the website and downloaded the different vehicles and voices into my GPS, but I was wondering if there are other sites to do that so there are more options? I want more voices especially!


Yes you can find other voices for your Garmin GPS although not as many as there are for TomTom. Try going to http://the-portable-gps.com/garmin-voice s.html
They list some sites that offer different voices for download. Hope this helps.

TomTom one or Maggelan roadmate 2000 or Garmin StreetPilot i3 Vehicle GPS Navigator?

Hi I am about to purchase a gps car navigation unit, basically I am driving from MO to Orlando and back and think it would be better than mapquest. Of these two that I mentioned above, what would you recommend and what are the pros and cons if you have experienced any? The Magellan and Garmin are almost a hundred bucks cheaper but the Tomtom seem to have more features , I don't know! But these are the three cheapest models out there. Thanks people.


You can compare those three devices side-by-side here:

http://www.gpsreview.net/compare-gps/?gp s=603-990-962

Of those three, I would eliminate the StreetPilot i3 from your list. It has a very small screen, doesn't use a touch screen display, and doesn't include pre-installed maps. It is the oldest device of the three you have mentioned and wouldn't be the best pick.

Of the remaining two, here are the primary differences. The TomTom ONE includes maps of Canada while the RM 2000 only has the US 48 states. The TomTom ONE is also a smaller size and weight, yet retains the same size screen so it will be more portable.

The TomTom ONE also has more advanced routing features such as advanced planning and the ability to create itineraries and save them for future use.

Here is a review of the TomTom ONE:

And here is info on the RM 2000:

How do I change my vehicle on my GPS?

I have new GPS, Garmin streetpilot c330. ON their website, I see that you can download other vehicles to use, but when I download it is only downloading to my computer and not to the GPS. How do I acutally get them on the GPS? Step by step please.
The GPS is connected to my computer, but how to I transfer from my computer to GPS. When i open my computer icon, don't see the GPS there to send to.


Looking at the garmin vehicles page, and the c330 manual, I don't think you can change the vehicle. On the vehicle page, it only references the Nuvi, Zumo, c510, c530, c550, c580 as being supported. :(
