Avoid the Navigon. BUYER BEWARE. Navigon is a dishonest company that has abandoned thousands of customers who purchased GPS devices in the last year. Their Navigon USA (Chicago) site provides no hardware support, map updates or customer support. The sad part is that their GPS was a good product and offered innovative solutions to the industry but without software, map updates & warranty support, the product is useless. Buy from this company at your own risk.
fm or no fm, garmin does not compare to tomtom period, u.s, europe or wherever. Iv compared these units time and time again. If you want a cheesy looking screen that looks like a kid colored with a marker, and all the nice little calculator and whatnots that has nothing to do with getting from A to B. Garmin is fine. Its a common sense fact.
Shoppers: TomTom's no longer offer FM transmitting of voice instruction but TomTom & its retailers continue to FALSELY ADVERTISE the feature.
Existing TomTom users: if you update firmware above 8.01 you LOSE the feature also. TomTom has disabled this feature for the entire world. Garmin, took a much more logical approach & only disabled it in 2 European countries that ban FM tranmission.
BUY THE GARMIN - better maps and no tricky updates or false advertising.
