Why is the Garmin so jerky. Tomtom seems much smoother. For a new nav the garmin just seems to lag too much. I'm still interested in both but now this tomtom 600 aka 6200 is only 170 usd here in the States

AWESOME video... Showed exactly what I was looking for ... yeah, the video is old, but the side by side comparisons are perfect.

[@vickifrance]

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.

I've been using Tomtoms for the last 10 years but it's time to change. My biggest grievance is not being able to see the road ahead because the Next Instruction panel obscured that vital info. Often I can see further through my windscreen than my map shows me.

[@PsyMongazoid]

Bought a Garmin Drivesmart. Spent the last 4 days getting to know all its ins and outs. 1) The map is less detailed than my Go 510. 2) I can't change the route as easily or to the same extent as my Go. 3) I can see further ahead on the map than my on my Tomtom.

[@misterg1157]

@PsyMongazoid, thanks. I didn’t know what you meant at first. Then I saw it in this video, starting at 8:45 - on the Garmin, you can see the roundabout ahead but on the Tomtom, the Next Instruction panel obscures it.

Hi, I dont have any experience driving on HIGHWAY and also never owned a JPS. Now i have to drive on Highway everyday, makes me very nervous, and so i decided to buy a JPS. Now im in between 2 JPS ( Garmin or Tomtom ). Here i have a question it may sound stupid- would you please guys help me to better understand about the jps: For example, 1/ If my phone doesnt work, no internet connection, while im driving, would JPS still work and show the ROAD or ROUTE ? 2/ In the video, @ 6:01, GARMIN shows 2 left lanes, TOMTOM shows one left lane. which one is right ? So JPS shows which lane we have to drive ? Thank you.

Agree the music ruined what could have been an awesome review!

[@FoundingYouTuber]

I agree, I noticed the music and wondered why he did that. (I have been on KZbin since day one, posted videos back then too. I knew back then NOT to include music in my videos, mainly because it would be 1) distracting; 2) most people don't like the uploader's music; 3) forcing people to listen to one's music is rude; and 4) what logic is there in forcing others to listen to my music choices. Perhap's this uploader would understand the problem with his video if he liked a video review of something he was interested in buying, but the uploader dubbed in music this guy hates. Bottom Line: It is really too bad because this was otherwise a really good video, comparing GPS systems I am considering.

[@imrantaufique828]

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.

i have used both but prefer Tom Tom Traffic info on tom tom far more reliable the Garmin always gave me phantom traffic jams

[@otway00]

I have had Garmin and TomToms over the years and while I found the graphics on the Garmin to be better, the TomTom was easier to use. On one trip, I was using both side by side. Missed a turn and the TomTom recalculated the route. The Garmin wanted me to go back to the first turn I missed even after I got to my destination. Using a Garmin right now because it was a better deal price wise

[@otway00]

@Apple Pie It was constant. The wife and joked that we probably gave it a stroke as we would not follow its instructions when it was giving bad directions. It broke so we kept the TomTom until it died a few years later.

[@johnlemon1595]

[@BatfoxBabe]

I notice the TomTom is a LOT smoother scrolling, but it also locked up at 2:20. I also noticed Garmin was silent while TomTom was providing all kinds of little directions by voice. Some may like that, but I think it's a bit TOO much detail. The Garmin screen is amazing though. It has LOTS of information and detail, including pictures of upcoming intersections with lane and course details. Pick yer own poison ah guess.

[@Holborovv]

The TomTom is a lot smoother when turning and going around a roundabout which makes it easier to follow, the garmin is a bit janky and delayed so may put you off a little bit.

Although Garmin has lots of extras, unlike Tomtom, it doesn't tell you which direction to go on the roundabout for say, 3rd exit. Mini roundabouts are also no available. It makes life very confusing most of the time! I rather use Waze. Tells you the roundabouts

I agree with you there. However, The Tom Tom has better, wider, and sharper graphics than the garmin. I have a Nuvi 55 Garmin right now. and I loved it only till fairly recently it hasn't been working well because they put up an all new satellite in the sky. So, even though I updated the thing, my icon wont stay on the road map and I get all confused while I'm driving. And that's not fun! It's makingvery mad. So it looks like I'm going to need a brand new GPS.

I've just bought the go 5200. I've always been a TomTom user and did consider switching to a Garmin. one thing that really irritates me about the TomTom is there's no information displayed for your next turn until one and a half miles from you turn. what road am I turning on to next which exit am I taking off the motorway this information should be displayed straight away like on the garmin. lots of useful information on the Garmin but doesnt display your arrival time. prefer the maps of the TomTom. thanks for the uploads how about a video of the Garmin in built-up areas.

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.

[@nguyenkhacbienvp]

[@thomhendricks]

[@danr1920]

We had a TomTom that was fine until it changed the voice. No longer can pick one. The new one is awful. It keeps telling you to "keep left" at every off ramp. Doesn't tell you to turn soon enough when you are going over 30mph. The reason we got a new one (Garmin) was it no longer took updates. It's only a couple of years old.

[@h20ltech]

[@JayDee-xj9lu]

I agree. Mine is only 2 years old and I cannot update it. And everytime I try the unit doesn't switch itself on with Ignition. I have to hold down the on button for 20 seconds and then wait forever for it to relocate. If I go back to factory settings it will switch on. I'm going for the Garmin as I want a 7 inch screen and longer updates. I have seen it for sale for only AUS$240. JD

Have decided for various reasons that using my phone is not on, so trying to decide which GPS to buy. Your videos are good, but please, no music, as I couldn't hear most of the warnings because of the competing audio !

But all that information on the Garmin is literally extra. You can edit what info you want to display. You can make it as bland as you want or you can have it display lots of info. Too much information isn't really a thing because you can make it as simple as you want it to be.

Garmin's GUI has so much wasted space though. And it reminds me of Windows 98. The maps are also uglier.

+Michael Broshko I've been TomTom user for 10 years TT one xl, TT go825, TT go 1050 and last 2 years with Go 6000. This year I dicide to try something new Garmin 61 and I'm Happy with my new satnav. Garmin is completely different than Tomtom and not everyone will liked. TomTom and Garmin is a good satnav is take you from A to B. With Tomtom go 6200 you have built-in data sim to receive traffic information which is great. Garmin 61 LM-TD model receiving traffic from digital traffic receiver built-in charger + you can connect your smartphone but this will take some of your internet. Garmin have more futures so I dicide to keep Garmin. TomTom GO 6200 is OVERPRICED here in England cost £330-300 Garmin Drivesmart 61 cost £249

In my Garmin there is options to buy photo live traffic on motorway but this services are available only in Sweden Norway and Finland Video below please see 4.34s kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYfTlWiBnLyZjpI

Tomtom has a 6 inch screen and the texts are not readable (so small -- why???)...I just bought one and I am really considering to bring back to the shop because the touch screen is freezing/not responding and the intelligent Hello Tomtom feature is a crap (it is not recognizing the words most of the time, and if there is a background noise then you can even forget it (high way)). Now I am checking which model would be better: ... Garmin has an ugly map design but it is easy to read, and the screen looks here much bigger, but it has no world map covering and wifi for updates... I am searching further because I am not convinced.

+Agnes Beck With Tomtom If go to settings- appearance-display you can change text to large. Garmin is with WiFi you can update very easy. Thank you for watching & comment.

[@agnesbeck171]

Thank you, I found it also after the comment and I set everything on the highest size. Now I am using the Tomtom more than 1,5 month and it never froze again and it works pretty well, I really like it. I got to use to not see the next road name just 2 km before the turn, but actually it is not bad.

I just purchased the Garmin 61 and so far working great however I’m noticing every time I speak a house number through the voice command for example (641 Smith Rd) it’ll come up 5743641 Smith Rd??? You run into this at all? Thank you

Robert Ely Try to update to latest software may help you.

Garmin seems more zoomed out. Is there any way of adjusting it to zoom in a bit more?

[@fatman2570]

do you know any guys how long is thr livetime. for maps and caners on this divices. even on this one. and other one 6200

[@WilliamVandervleut]

I had 3x Navman forget about it they are rubbish, then I had 2 x Tomtom (G0 600 and G0 5200) which are great but only seem to last 1yr battery and other issues seem to happen after 1yr and in my opinion isn't worth getting them fixed. Just bought a Garmin to see what its like, I just would like to get more than 1yr out of it!
