TomTom vs Garmin

First let me start off by saying that I did a search and found 11 threads on gps but none really addressed my concerns and since I've narrowed my options to only (2), my question is...which one?

I travel a lot from almost anywhere in the U.S., Canada and Europe and although the cars I've rented had the Garmin which I had no problem using, I thought it'd be a good idea to finally get one of my own.

First thing I did was search TomTom's website and saw their most expensive one which is the GO 930T and only $549.95 with the only difference between that and the GO 930 ($499.95) is the traffic receiver on the T.

Now, I go to Garmin's website and it was a little difficult to navigate but figured it out however, not their prices With TomTom you figure the higher model number you go, the higher the price and more features but Garmin has the Nuvi 880 at $899.99 and the Nuvi 5000 at $857.13 and with prices fluctuating in models, I didn't even want to bother reading the features for each one as there were many models to choose from.

So if anyone has experience with both, I'd love to hear your comments or suggestions, Thank you


PS-Did I mentioned that my friend has the TomTom with different voices like Ozzy Osborne, Homer Simpson and a few others that forget and they are all very funny...especially if you missed the turn, LOL
