    Gps units

    We first had a Garmin and now we have a Tom Tom. They both work well but I did like the Garmin better because it listed more of the POIs. We bought the Tom Tom because it came with CA. maps for the Garmin you had to buy it then pay extra to download the maps from there web sight.
