Navigon Mio
Which gps company is the best?
If a group of gps units was the same and all else being equal except the brand name which brand would you most want to have?
Garmin
Tomtom
Magellan
Mio
Navigon
Other…
I’ve owned a Mio, a TomTom, a Navigon, and now a Garmin. This is no easy answer to this question because of all the factors (cost, size, etc)… BUT I can tell you, unlike others, I hated my TomTom One so much that I returned it after 1 day. The Navigon was nice – but the text was too small and hard to read – even though it was a standard 3.5″ screen. The Mio was really great – BUT customer support was not so great and getting updates and fixes to bugs was almost nonexistant. That brings me to my Garmin 250W… which is the nicest of all the units because it works very well – the routes it picks seem to be about the best I have seen – and most importantly – the support is outstanding. I plugged in my 250W to my computer via the USB cable and instantly the Garmin software told me there was a firmware update available to speed up the map drawing times on screen and even addtional voices were avail to me… all FREE! They also release map updates twice a year… which, with some of these other companies, I don’t think you are going to get that kind of service. Whatever you pick – enjoy! GPS is one of those rare inventions that comes along and can really change your life.
