GPS - Product Reviews

vtmchris - (March 28, 2005) Research: I've been looking for two years for a gps device for my car. An upcoming move to a new area added new focus to the search. I started looking at the Magellan Roadmate 700 because of the complete US mapping (I like the idea of just getting in the car and taking off without having to download maps). Magellan's reviews on PiceGrabber were positive but no one offered comparisons to other gps devices. The reviews for Garmin, however, were much stronger. Some people specifically compared the StreetPilot 2620 to Magellan noting the business directory and other features that Garmin offers that Magellan had not yet addressed. While considering Garmin StreetPilot 2620 I noticed the many

writeareview - (July 30, 2004) I've read over a hundred reviews prior to purchasing this unit. The two units that I did close comparison with was the Magellan Roadmate 700 and this unit. Now that I've own the unit for about two weeks, I'm extremely glad that I chose this unit. I know that buying a gps can be confusing, that is why I'm taking the time to help some of you out there who may be caught in the same situation as I had. Garmin 2620 by far wins over the Magellan Roadmate 700. That is the bottom line! I had a chance to try both of them. Overall, the 2620 is much more comprehensive and reliable. You may see some of the reviews out there saying that the 2620 unit doesn't tell you to turn "left" or "right" rather i

rexrzer2005 - (May 07, 2007) And here we have the champ, the benchmark in personal GPS devices, the Nuvi 660.

That's a lot of pluses, and there's literally nothin

davestewart53 - (12/02/2009) I have a 720 and I wanted maps for Australia so I went on the Canadian web site and went to the Maps download guess what its down for repairs, not to much problem except that it has been that way for at least 4 months. Tom Toms answer is use another country web site guess what your credit card details cannot be entered with the correct Canadian address on any other website except the canadian website ,Tom Toms answer is get credit card from Australia or some other country great How as I dont live there or any where else except Canada So I bought a garmin much easier to get maps for it Tom Tom still refuses to even accept that there is a problem as far as there support is concerned

xomamamcat - (12/02/2009) I had a very hard time getting signals. The GPS signal was constantly getting lost. I switched from an older version Tom Tom which I loved. It's been two weeks and I returned the Magellan and purchased another Tom Tom. I wouldn't recommend the Magellan.
