garmin gps world map
Which GPS map format is better? Navteq or Tele Atlas?
I am considering buying either a Garmin Nuvi 660 or a Tom Tom 910…which map system is better for driving and POI? I live in Toledo, OH and will primarily use the unit there. Does one provide better service for a middle sized city? Any info is appreciated as I am new to the GPS world.
Thanks, Sean
I have the Nuvi 660 which uses the Navteq map data. I did a lot of research and found the Nuvi to be the best — for the U.S. TomTom with TeleAtlas is better in Europe and U.K.
A good way to test the Navteq data is to use MapQuest. However, the MapQuest data may be more up to date than the maps you might get with a GPS unit.
There’s also a new Nuvi 680 with MSN Direct (fee based) for traffic and weather. See http://gps.buyerreports.org for other user reviews and specs.
