garmin vs. tomtom

tom tom1 here , does the job just cant start going then start route you have to do it from a stop also i got it cheep

 

My dad wanted to get a garmin 750 or 760, but he got a killer deal on ebay, of a Tom Tom 920 which is equivalent to a 60 series of a garmin in features and it works great.

 

I have the Joe-Joe. No mounts, no wires, no annoying voice.

 

Must have to do with the model you have, I can change routes on the fly.
I have tomtom one xls or something like that.

 

well you can, but i tried once to get it goin after i was moving and it took 10 mins to get a signal

 

I don't even wait for the signal, I enter a destination and start heading toward the freeway, by the time I need the input it is up to speed. I must say it really does not take that long for mine to get a signal, maybe a minute at most. I have it mounted far left side of the dash/windshield.

 

i usialy keep mine in a cup holder

 

That might make it harder to get a signal.

 

i only glance at the road list not the map...so its not needed as much and in the cup holder its literatly at my fingertips

 

good reviews, thanks guys. Ill look at that newegg in a few!

 

If i use it i usually leave it on the side by cup holder. Just glance at it occasionally.

 

checking out newegg.com, theres some killer prices on the garmin I want. Are they all refurbs?

 

garmin ones are sick.. they are nice and i love them...

 

There's a software update to make it detect faster. If you haven't done it, then connect it to your PC via USB and update it using Tom tom software.

I don't have problem with my Tom Tom One. Unlike others, it's not annoying when you don't follow the route recommended.
