Tom Tom or Garmin

[welwell]

Bit of advice needed?

 

I'm going to buy a satnav, and wondered what your views are on the two main players in the field. They both seem to offer similar specs, but is there a better make out of the two or is it the same as the eternal Sthil v Husky debate???? I'd quite like Bluetooth as an option.

 

Thanks for the advice peeps.

I've always found tom tom to be more user friendly, i.e. better user interface software i.e simpler!

Weve always had Tom Tom plus we can load data from the utilities and rail companies the take you straight to access gates etc

Seems like the TomTom is in the lead at the moment.

Tom Tom are fine if plugged in to power supply all the time but if you don't use it for a couple of months even if you put it away fully charged it never wakes up again!! I've had two and both died in the same way, I contacted Tom Tom and they said that was a common fault they need constant use.

I just use a free sat nav app on my Iphone, works fine. Or google maps for places without postcodes.
