Re: TomTom 7 vs Garmin XT....which is better and why???
I assume you are with sprint. You did not mention sprint navigation it is a fair comparison I have used all three and have all three installed. Note battery life is of no concern to me. I personally think the battery life on Touch pro is better then any other windows mobile phone sprint has had.My personal chose is between sprint and garmin I have both and use both
Sprint naviation
Does traffic well and is free if you have nav
can search for buisiness and poi better because web based and allows to dial number
maps look good
voice annouces street names
is web based no maps stored so no data connection no work
routing is not as good
and if in a dense city with alot of quick turns tends to not update quick enough for next turn
can plot route from PC on sprints nav web site
garmin
excelent routing the best between all three
maps are more up to date then tomtom
novoice annouce street names
caches shortcuts better then both tomtom and sprint goes back to better routing
verry little customization
not great with poi only if manually add
advance PC software for advance route plannig.
TOMTOM
similar to garmin
Best looking 3D maps
Very customisable can even create own voices
routing better then sprint but not as good as garmin
maps onboard
no voice annouce street
