The Garmin v. Magellan GPS Show Down

Posted by on July 17, 2009

I’ve narrowed my search between the Garmin nüvi 265W/265WT 4.3-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Integrated Traffic Receiver and Magellan RoadMate 1470 4.7-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator.  Both have free traffic*, Text to Speech,  Large Widescreens .   The Magellan had a better tactile response for its touch screen, better price and a slightly larger screen.    The Garmin has Bluetooth, Traffic and better customer support.   Ugh! GPSMagazine.com has the Garmin slightly higher 80% vs 78% on its buyers guide so I am thinking that should be a better choice.
