[Healeys] GPS Machine

[Oudesluys]

TomTom and Garmin are the best. The display and instructions are best on 
the TomTom, maps and speed can be better on the Garmin.
In the past I have done some consumer tests on sat navs and TomTom 
always came out best followed closely by Garmin.
For both counts that you are generally best off with the simpler and 
cheaper devices as the expensive ones have so many possibilities that 
using them becomes very complex.
These devises are also far better than the very expensive integrated 
systems. For one these are usually in the wrong spot, low down in the 
dash, the TomTom and Garmin can be placed right in the line of your 
vision, and updates cost a bloody fortune while updates for the TomTom 
and Garmin are free for as long as you have it.
