TomTom GPS vs Garmin

[AzBob_imp]

I have a Garmin Nuvi 2495LMT. I think they retail for around $200 (edit: apparently, they're barely over $100 now). It's not a motorcycle-specific model, however, it gets bright enough to see in the glaring Arizona sun at midday (if it's hooked up to power, it's even brighter, but I haven't done that, yet). Also, while it doesn't say it's "glove friendly," the touch interface works fine while I'm wearing my gloves. I wouldn't really want to type on the thing while riding because the virtual buttons are small, but if you set your destination before you leave, then there's no need to do anything while riding other than follow the prompts. It has Bluetooth, and if it happens to rain, just throw a ziplock over it. In addition to being brighter while hooked to power, it also has traffic when configured that way (the traffic antenna is in the power wire).
