Garmin or Tom Tom?

[GTRpilot]

Which is the better satnav, or are they much the same, just different names? 

[PRD]

Garmin!

[Rusty]

They are most definitely NOT the same ... GARMIN every time.

[Biker Bugs]

Garmin

I have had both IMHO without a doubt garmin rules.

[Wookie]

Wook has had a garmin zumo since 2005.
It has been trouble free and it must have covered 100 k in ALL weather's.
The upside of the garmin is that you can plot an intricate route on your pc .then download onto the garmin
Hope this helps

+1 for Garmin.

But remember, tell it you're a car and it works out the quickest way from A to B.

Tell it you're a bike and it works out an interesting twisty route.

Cheers

Does the 590LM fit the 660 bike mount?

[O.C.]

no its different      

I'm assuing you mean the charge mounting

Yep, just thought it might be the same bike charge mount, but that would be far to easy

I can only go on my experience with car sat navs.
I don't like the interface of Garmin and prefer the TomTom.
Therefore I bought the Rider 400 which I'm very pleased with.
Cheaper than the Garmin equivalent too!

Couldn't get on with the Garmin front end also, so TT rider V5 and use the "Myrouteapp" for planning, no issues as yet.
Play with as many as you can, it really does seem to be personal preference from experience!

Just brought the 595LM used it in the car first day on a drive to Bristol.

I prefer the Tom Tom lay out but once connected to Smart Link on the phone works very well with traffic etc etc

Tom Tom 400 for me but takes a lot of getting used to
