By far the biggest selling brand, with more than 50 percent of the market. Based in Olathe, Kan., Garmin was founded in 1989, and today it has 7,000 employees. Garmin GPS navigators have consistently scored near or at the top of our ratings. In addition to portable GPS units, Garmin makes a variety of fitness training devices and products for marine and aviation use. The company announced plans to sell its own telephone with built-in navigation two years ago, but the scheduled release date has been pushed back several times. |

Comment:
I've owned and used it for 16 months, in both Europe and US. Generally it is fine, but the following things have really bugged me: (a) difficult to get to volume and brightness controls; (b) sequential menus force you to go through every menu choice with no ability to jump back to the beginning except to step backwards; (c) touch screen not very sensitive - often have to press very hard; (d) battery status info limited to microscopic icon in corner- useless; (e) no way to know what it thinks its current destination is -- if you have doubts you simply have to program the destination again from the beginning; (f) no way to know how it is routing you; (g) no way to get to a large scale picture except by stepping through jillions of magnification steps one by one (then later, back down again); (h) worst of all, the power plug in the back is terrible and often you're not plugged in when you thought you were -- leading to nasty surprises; (i) short battery life; (j) the thing rolled over and died last week in the middle of a trip, causing great trouble. Other than these complaints, it has been accurate except in cases where recent construction changed the roads; it is amazingly accurate in routing you through old European cities that have twisty, narrow, oneway streets and the route from A to B is absurdly complicated. The pronunciation of European street names is hilarious and unintelligible. From the CU reviews, i would guess the other devices are about the same.

Comment:
Priced right if you need Europe maps.<br />Touch screen is not responsive enough to the touch. Found difficult to find addresses 99% of the time- better than most per the people we visited in Italy

Comment:
- Comes pre-loaded with North American and European maps, a clear plus.<br />- Accurate most of the time.<br />- Difficult to use for planning trips; wider view contains too little useful information.
