Can't wait for my TomTom 730 GPS to arrive!
I compared Garmin to TomTom and purchased the TomTom 730 (instead of the Garmin nuvi 760). They are 95% comparable with the following key exceptions:

Map updates are free with TomTom, Garmin you must pay more Microsoft royalties.

Garmin has way to much Microsoft built into their unit - the main reason why I can't go this route (I put my money where my mouth is - and that's anywhere MS is not (hence my move to Apple years ago)).

Microsoft is just way too busy sticking it's fingers everywhere. They can't keep this up. Why doesn't Microsoft just give up their tactic to take over all areas of computing and concentrate on their primary busienss.

Current Microsoft stock levels means an investor has not made a cent from MS stock (including dividends) unless they purchased that stock at any time wayyy back before February 1998.

On the other hand if you invested in Apple at any time before January 2007 you have made money on Apple stock. That's because Apple is focused whereas Microsoft is 'all over the map' so to speak.
