    I want a basic one. Which make is better? A salesman down TCR gave me a load of flannel about Garmin and the military, but I've only ever seen TomToms. Does it make any difference?

    You do know real men have an inbuilt sense of direction and can plan a journey with a quick glance of a £4.99 roadmap?
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          The Garmin my dad has tells him the mileage as an "as the crow flies" rather than actual mileage, until he plugs it into the car. Which is pretty useless.

          His Garmin does traffic alerts for free though, whereas my Tom Tom charges me for it and needs a bluetooth connection to a mobile, plus data tariff.

                  I bought a cheapo Garmin a few years ago and it's still going strong, in spite of the maps being out of date.

                    I bought a TomTom primarily for the pedestrian route planning. Hasn't let me down much so far.
