Which gps do you think is the best.?

A tomtom xl 340s gps, magellan roadmate 1475t, or tomtom go 630Which gps do you think is the best.?
GPS devices have enjoyed tremendous sales growth, particularly in the automotive market.

tomtom go 630 is good as it offers the following features:



* IQ Routes鈩?technology

* Advanced Lane Guidance

* Easy access to traffic information

* TomTom Map Share鈩?technology

* Complete maps of the US %26amp; Canada

* Voice address input

* Hands-free calling
I've had experience with both TomToms and Magellan. I had frequent trouble with the TT getting turn info. too late. Also, getting updates were a pain to get. The Magellan that I had (1470) had a nice big screen, easy to navigate and also had some great features like AAA ratings. My pick is for the Magellan. Good luck.Which gps do you think is the best.?
This is just my opinion on your question, since I have used a TomTom and Garmin that cost me twice as much but didn鈥檛 give as much - I think I can express my small opinion on the mater. For those who don鈥檛 agree please excuse my 2 cents.



First off my gps has a 5 inch wide-screen not 4.3 inch small screen. My gps is a portable navigation device that works like a small computer - it has calculator, calendar, music, picture, videos, games, and some other cool stuff. It has advanced lane guidance, prices, smart Routes, and free map upgrades.

It has text-to-speech that reads aloud street and point-of-interest names for quicker recognition. This feature is really cool because it specifically tells you which side of the street the location is on unlike other gps's that just tell you where to go, but don鈥檛 tell you what side of the street the location or destination is on.



A 5-inch wide-format touch screen occupies the front of the gps while a large, loud speaker dominates its back. The only physical control to be found is the power button on the unit's top edge. The Mini-USB port on its side serves as the connection for the included 12-volt car charger, computer cable for data connection, and office/home charger.



Unlike its primary competitor, the Garmin, and some TomTom version does not have an SD or microSD card slot, so you're stuck with the device's 2GB of onboard storage (most of which is occupied by map and voice data). Mine came with a SD slot and a 4GB sd card.



The multi surface mount is clever - the gps has mounts on it that allows you to connect a cradle to it which can connect to the free multi surface mount. To attach the gps to your windshield, simply flip out the suction cup, place the device on the windshield, and filp the locking ring switch. The flip-lock suction cup feel as secure as the Garmin's lever-actuated suction cup.



Also included with the gps is a 12-volt car charger, a USB connection cable, and an adhesive disk for attaching the gps to your vehicle's dashboard if windshield mounting is not permissible.



The gps features Advanced Lane Guidance, a new feature to gps's that shows detailed illustrations of complex freeway interchanges, complete with lane information. Arrows overlaid on the illustration notify drivers of what lanes will keep them on the chosen route.



Text-to-speech functionality lets the gps announce street and point-of-interest names aloud. The gps comes bundled with lots of languages English, French, and Spanish voices. Just so you know, im using a newelectronx gps with amigo on it.

hope this long opinion helps. lol
If you go to http://www.the-portable-gps.com the have reviews by actual unit owners that use that model on a daily basis. They also show the popularity rating. In addition they have comparison charts comparing features offered by each model. This will help you decide what unit best fits your needs.

Good luckWhich gps do you think is the best.?
I would say Garmin but don't know about others
