Garmin has such a nice interface, closely resembling their standalone GPS units. Their newest maps are dated 2009, which are even newer than iGuidance. You can load custom POI's, which is a huge bonus for me. You can get them from poi-factory.com. I just loaded over 200,000 POI's yesterday.
I do miss the TTS street names, but hopefully they will add that feature soon. There is a small issue with it changing the system date/time until it gets a GPS lock. That can be annoying if you have reminders or alarms setup.
The maps are much prettier than iGuidance, and the whole interface is much cleaner.

I have to say... I didn't know there was an update for my GarminXT PPC client. I updated to the latest version and the map updating is faster (still not as fast as TomTom) but is now acceptable. Search the forums for a link.
So now I'm using Garmin again... I pray for TTS. That would be sweet!
