Both GPS's have 4.3 inch screens and are a good deal. Which one should I buy? I really like the Magellan. Idk what to get. What's your experience? What's your experience.

Thanks, josh

I only have experience with the garmin and tom tom.
I love my garmin. very easy to use and I havent had any issues. would like for it to say the name of the street you are turning on but that is not worth a couple hundred extra dollars to me.

The thing about Garmin is it only offers maps of Lower 48 states, Puerto Rico, Hawaii. I have no desire to ever travel to Hawaii or PR. Canada. If you want Canada in the Garmin it's an extra $75. I'm still debating. I like the AAA tourbook feature on the Magellan.

I have the Maggie 4250 and it works quite well. The AAA feature is nice.
