Ok, Im gonna tell you as far as accuracy there all gonna basicly be the same. Id focus more on the features that they have and what you want. Garman is one of the best brands out there, so Id keep an eye on them.

I have used several nav systems and I drove from ALASKA to FLORIDA using the Tom Tom and I NEVER got lost... not even for a minute... it was pretty much dead accurate all the time, except in the Yukon, when it showed my car being next to the road, hahaha... but other than that, everything is perfect... plus you can get Mr. T to tell you where you are going... so why the hell not. I'd say for the $300 that it cost me at Best Buy, it's well worth it... it can do everything the other navs can do and then some. It has so much **** programmed in, like the different attractions, etc...

I am a salesmen in Car-Fi at a little store called Best Buy, one of my best sellers is the Garmin C330, its an older model but has a very good price point if you just want navi, if you want all the bells and whistles, ie blue tooth, text to speech id recommend taking a look at the magellan 4040.

TomTom is the best sytem out there hands down the TomTom one XL has a 4.5 in screen and its flat the TomTom 910 is the top of the line it has a 4.5 inch screen and a 20 gig hard drive they also have an awesome user interface very easy to use with bluetooth so you can use it with your phone with real time traffice reports and also you can get Mr. T voice to navigate you around thats the ****
