for you GPS guru's

I've been looking at the Garmin 2620 and the Magellan 750, anyone have experience with either one of these? Which one is the better deal and more user friendly? I see the 750 says you can program for off road use, I would assume you can for the Garmin also? Any input is appreciated

Kind of ... ... I've got the predecessor to the 2620, the 2610. Love it. Easy to use & download to. That thing spoils me. I don't like to take any drives of any distance w/o it. Been known to turn around & go back & get it.

I tried out both units. The Roadmate is easier to use right out of the box. The Garmin 2620 has many more features, contains more information, and is fairly easy to use right out of the box too. The Garmin has a "bean bag" mount that is easy to use in different vehicles. The Garmin remote control is a very nice feature that I use... no reaching up to the unit to use the touch screen.



We kept the Garmin 2620 and have been highly satisfied with it. It's amazing how much information is in that little box!!!



Note: If you are going to use the GPS mounted on an off road vehicle such as an ATV, get the Garmin 2610. Rough use will damage the hard drive in the 2620.

I have been looking at the TomTom Go recently... seems to be an awesome system! A customer had one in his car, and I fell in love with it!!

I've been very favorably impressed with our Garmin 2620. I like it as well, if not better, than the Alpine DVD-based OEM navigation system that came on my Acura 3. 2TL-S. With the entire North American map database preloaded, the 2620 is truly a "plug and play" proposition. My wife uses it in her Durango regularly. The 2620 is one of the better purchases I've made.

Thanks for your advice fella's, can always count on you. I havent heard of the "Tom Tom Go"? I will have to search on it some, other than that it looks like the 2620 is the way to go. Thanks again

Off topic, but- How do you like your Acura?

Great. It's never been back to the shop except for routine service to keep the warranty mavens happy. It's comfortable, quick and gets good fuel mileage. Makes the Houston commutes bearable!
