Gain of salt...

I'm always a bit facinated in watching discussions like this one on which
GPS has better reception. I've been watching the Magellan vs Garmin battle
for several years. This thread is pretty balanced, with examples of both
Magellan and Garmin being better. I think that sums up the battle for the
last couple years. Someone always has a comparison showing one is better
than the other. The two units being discussed have very similar antannea and
hardware, so I think you'll fine either one to be a good choice. You'll also
find each one has it's own quirks.

Good luck,
