brilliant piece of kit I haven't used a tomtom but I tested the garmin out on a daytrip to legoland and was really impressed. Very quick to set up and plan route. Would definatly recommend to a friend.
Good Value The Garmin 250 standard is a good package and value for money. I paid under £100 from Amazon. It is much more compact than a Tom Tom I have used and easier to use.

It's hard to believe there's anything out there that would suit me better.
