Garmin or Tom Tom

[BKP]

I've used Garmin for years, and it's been great. About to upgrade myself to the 478c (good for both my boat, and car).

I'm sure the TomTom works fine... however, it's a newcomer, compared to Garmin...

Take a deep breath and repeat this relaxation technique from one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes:

SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW!!



Speaking of driving off cliffs:

I remember seeing a BBC article about people who follow their GPS units' instructions so blindly that they keep driving into a river near a small village. :shakehead Unfortunately I can no longer find it.

Thanx, but I prefer my method - involves a bottle opener

Whatever works

While I still can't find that original BBC article about a certain river crossing in rural England that seems like a popular place for Brits to turn their cars into boats, this article talks about it and other issues when you are a bit too trusting of your GPS unit:

I've been using a Garmin and have nothing but good things to say about the unit. I love my Garmin.
