Hi guys - Iam loking at buying either a Garmin nuvi 250w or a TomTom One XL .
Which one should I go for ? - I will be using mainly in Ireland & the Uk . Any advice useful !
 
i think tomtom has better map coverage of ireland and also it seems easier to get updates and pois.
saying that i have used a garmin street pilot and found that good as well.
my advice tho is for tomtom
 
Yes, Tom Tom is easy to keep up to date.
But I found my old Garmin i3 was actually miles better for POIs than my Tom Tom One V2 (even though I've loaded lots of POIs from the Net onto my TT). There was hardly a park or attraction in the land that was not covered by Garmin's pre-loaded POIs
 
Well finally went out and got a TomTom One XL today - well happy with it - but have noted that points of interest have very little detail - telephone no's missing etc here in Ireland anyway compared to the garmin. Also battery life seems poor @ 2 hours ...should have gone for the 720 !
 
Garmin has better map detail for Ireland - NAVTEQ maps - TOM TOM use TeleAtlas maps and dont have as good coverage ........
