How Well Does a Tom Tom GPS Unit Stack Up to a Garmin?

Garmin certainly has a wider and deeper product line. If you're looking for an entry level device, or even a mid-priced device, then Tom Tom certainly is worth considering.

Part of the problem in choosing a GPS unit is understanding what features are offered, and which ones are important to you.

All GPS's do the following:

  • Have a pre-programmed database of Points of Interest (POI's)
  • Choice of a larger screen, specifically 4.3-inch
  • More maps
  • Bluetooth capability
  • Multiple route capability
  • Mp3 and audio book capability
  • Larger database of POI's

For an entry level device, a great Tom Tom GPS unit would be the Tom Tom One, 3rd. Edition. The Tom Tom One, 3rd Edition does everything an entry level device needs to do, plus has some interesting features.

Garmin's entry level GPS unit is the Garmin nuvi 200. Right now, it runs about $20 more than the Tom Tom. It can do everything a basic GPS unit needs to do, but doesn't have some of the bells and whistles the Tom Tom has. Why does Garmin outsell Tom Tom in the United States? People perceive Garmin as the leader when it comes to quality.

For a mid-range unit, you might want to consider the Tom Tom GO 920, which is currently selling for slightly more than $300. (FM capability means you can hear your unit though your car's stereo system.)

After all Tom Tom outsells Garmin in Europe, for what that's worth.

So how does a Tom Tom GPS unit stack up against a Garmin?

Tom Tom seems to offer more features at the lower price points.
