GPS are one of those things that few of us ever own more than 1 of. As a
consequence everyone loves to recommend the type they own.
Best advice is to have a look at a few shops, and also check out a few friends
units and make up your own mind.
I am biased as I have owned 3 Garmins, but as mentioned before, never used
anything else so can't comment how it compares to others. I am used to the
way they work, so will continue to buy them.
