Pros: easy to use

Cons: cannot change gender of voice; names of streets not spoken

Used the Magellan 700 and found it too complicated, unattractive, bulky and not as easy to look at or use than the Garmin 330. The Garmin is pre-loaded like the Magellan but the graphics and ease of use place the Garmin three lengths ahead of the com...petition. Only complaints are the washout of screen in normal bright daylight, the lack of alternate voices, and the absence of spoken street names and intersections as found in the TeleNav on my Nextel-Motorola i860 cell phone. Other than the "turn right and then turn left" it would be helpful to hear "turn right on Melrose Street and then turn left on West 32nd Street." All things considered, the 330 by Garmin beats the rest hands down. Used it in DC for the Fourth of July and it was flawless. Read more Less
