Who Wins the Garmin Vs TomTom GPS Debate?
To answer this question, let’s get an overview of the product lines of each of these companies. Garmin first. I’m just talking car GPS, here. Not motorcycle, not trekking, etc. just car. Used to be that Garmin has two lines of after market car GPS’s, the StreetPilot and the newer nuvis. Garmin has essentially discontinued the StreetPilots, although you can still find them in some online retailers. The nuvi line is what you need to be looking at, and what we’ll be discussing. As far as understanding the Garmin vs TomTom GPS discussion, you need to know that nuvis are priced from less than $100 to almost $400. You can get a basic Garmin nuvi, the 205, for less than $90 from many online retailers. You can get Garmin’s top of the line model, the 3790t for $450, or thereabouts. The 205 gives you a basic GPS system, but not much else. With the 3790t, you get an artificially intelligent state of the art GPS system in a sleek, newly designed case, which can remember the routes you take most of
