Which Gps Is Better? Magellan 1412 Or Garmin 270 Nuvi?
They are both priced within $10 of each other. I’ll probably only us in North America for driving trips.
Does anyone have any opinions on which is better? More user friendly?
Thanks!

I prefer Garmin. When I bought one 11 years ago, I actually bought a Magelian. It was clunky, very hard to use, etc. When I showed it to a guy I was working with, he said the problem is typical of Mag. So I took it back and swapped for a Garmin. Love it! I’m sure by now Mag has corrected their problems, but I still like Gar better.
I recieved a Magellan Maestro 4040 for Christmas. I’ve seen it around town for $300 (on sale). My parents have a Garmin and I can’t get my mom to stop talking about how much better their GPS is than mine. She keeps suggesting that I take it back and get a Garmin. I’m not going to…but does what she say have any validity? Which brand is better?
The best garmin in the market rite now is the Nuvi780. It has text to Speech as well as turn by turn. Bluetooth MP3 player 6 hour lithon Ion Battery. Intergrated traffic receiver; integrated FM modulator; Where Am I; and tons of other features.
The difference between the Nuvi series and the C series is that C series is older and out of date.
The C550 is a pretty decscent unit though. It has the txt to speech, bluetooth and mp3 player (I think it has an MP3 on it). It is not a bad unit at all but like I said it is kinda old. Will it still get the job done yes. I donesn’t have the built-in traffice receiver though neither does it have the simulator mode that lets the unit play your route for you before youstart driving it. Let me know if you need anything else DUECES!!!!!
I’m looking to buy a GPS thats quick and accurate.
Im looking into buying a GPS system. I need one thats fast and the most accurate.
Put the card into the GPS receiver. There should be a slot on the side of the unit for the card. Just slide it in. If you have an outdoor handheld unit that does not have a slot on the side, open the battery compartment, remove the batteries and look behind the batteries for the slot.
To upload maps to the card, either copy the appropriate files using Windows Explorer (the GPS receiver will appear as a removable drive) or use whatever Garmin mapping program you have to send the maps to the receiver.
