Both are very good, visually the TomTom is a less confusing map and skips around a lot less. But when the screen splits the Garmin has a better visual. Are the screen sizes the same? If so the Garmin has larger text making it better for older eyes. Hard to say which one is actually better...I think it's even.

Tom tom has an edge. Although there are minor (street name) notification edge observed for Garmin over Tomtom. In Garmin the maps look 70% ready look wise while the Tomtom maps look much more mature and smoother. I do not feel colour plays an advantage in Garmin as in direction arrows indication flow of traffic flow in case of multi lanes in Tomtom wins. Tomtom can be improved surely, but I found it slightly better than Garmin. Specially the total route display with end time to reach destination gives a very good feel. Tomtom magnetic mount is surely a plus too. That's my view and observation only. Both the products are top of their class.

Garmin's GUI has so much wasted space though. And it reminds me of Windows 98. The maps are also uglier. The main sellings points Garmin has got going is that the display is better, and setting your destination is simpler (with TomTom you *have* to put in a address as well, but with Garmin you only have to put in a place to start planning your route).

fillsta vapour taylor It is possible now to show arriving time, distance, remaining time permanently on display with Garmin 61. Video about this on my channel Monday 5 June
TomTom less jerky as others have said. Also it's slightly faster with directions and route info and realtime info and distance. His makes all the difference in a real world situation where you only have very little time to change lanes or make a turn and every second count. Making it beng the difference of nice to use or a headache and frustration. I like the Garmin realview of exit signs and bigger screen but the color is awful and makes it look outdated. If the TomTom had a bigger screen and was edge to edge plus have realview that would be the best hands down. To me speed of unit is most important. What the point in good graphics or directions if they're too slow to do any good and you constantly miss your turns and exits.

Both navigations have their advantages and disadvantages. Garmin shows a better perspective ahead of time, much further than Tomtom! Garmin voice commands are more precise and appear much faster. The Garmin Lane Assistant is much more accurate and therefore better for navigating unfamiliar urban terrain. Not to mention the larger Garmin screen (6.9 inches!). I personally use the Garmin SmartDrive LM-T 65 D - where "D" is Digital Trafic, I do not need to connect to the phone as it is in the Garmin SmartDrive "S". And the "D" version has 3D buildings! In Germany, the price of the Garmin Smart Drive LM-T 65 D is around 220 Euro, while the TomTom 6200 is around 260 Euro. Recently, TomTom took me to the streets "against the current" so after 10 years of using TomTom I bought a Garmin and I am satisfied, although Garmin has a problem with updating radars and speed limits, often the information is inconsistent with reality, which is the only MINUS of Garmin for me to so far. - Here Tomtom is an absolute leader.

TomTom seems to run a lot smoother and looks cleaner. More polished looking. That's one of the reasons i'm upgrading my 1340. Very laggy maps. Was gonna get one of those fast sd cards to see if that improved it but i'm getting this 61 instead. I hoped laggy maps were a thing of the past with these newer ones but it looks like they aren't. Well except for TomTom that is by the looks of it. TomTom must have a better CPU. How smooth the TomTom looks is what i was expecting to get upgrading to this 61. Suppose maybe settings can be tweaked but i'd also expect it to run full detail with no lag by now like the TomTom is.

I saw one difference here that kind of clinches it for me. At :24 on the garmin it shows you much closer to the turn whereas the tomtom still has you way back and nowhere near the turn. I went back to kind of watch the driver and it appears they were turning in relation to the garmin. Suddenly the tomtom bounces forward to sync with the cars actual location. It may seem like a small thing but it's the reason I'm looking for a gps other than the one installed in the car. Living in California with split second interchanges and off ramps nearly overlapping I can't say how many times just a couple seconds and a slight off sync of the GPS had me miss my exit. My wife has nearly ripped the GPS out of the car in furry at how many times it's had us miss our exit or turn because it's back to far. In my father in laws car the in car modern gps has told us "turn right now" while we were literally driving on an over pass.

I have the Tomtom as a standalone (Go 6200) and Garmin app (version 2.12.1.2419) on an iPhone 5S with mount. I find that they are both good.

tom tom quicker response - - do any sat navs tell you which roundabout exit BEFORE leaving the motorway ?
@h20ltech7 жыл бұрын
+MrBP I think they both will tell you example level junction 2 and than keep left lane or right lane thepend where you go. When you are closer to roundabout will tell you ex: leave second exit ect. New satnav taking a lot. Thank you for watching & comment.

Garmin wins. The clarity of the signpost resembles the ones in a real motorway. See 7mins and 40 seconds! It also clearly displays A20 Tonbridge, whilst TomTom err displays nothing! See at 8:00mins! The display on Garmin is more modern and almost borderless than TomTom which is big bezels!

Firstly good video. I like features on both, for me, Tom Tom doesn't feel as cluttered with different colours. I didn't like how long the Tom Tom took to change to 3D and put me off a bit. This made me lean towards the Garmin. Thinking I may just have to get used to the array of different colours on the Garmin. Both good though.
+H20LPALI TECH Thank you for watching. Yes TomTom get stuck and restart after 3d command.

I like the Garmin best, I watched this as about to buy a new sat nav, I have at present a Garmin Nuvi, but fed up of it being so slow to give next direction like when turning off motorway onto ra at end of slip road, I see this one is a huge amount quicker, I had a tom tom but screen was not glass, some sort of plastic it smeared all the time and was hard to see, admittedly that is going ack over 10 years, my present NUVI is doing strange things like putting up POI, even tough keep turning them off!!
