I've personally only owned TomToms and loved them, but that means I have never owned a Garmin so I can't compare them.

thanks guys. The whole thing is hardly of use for me, my official budget is $100, so I'm just going to stick with the tom-tom.

Get a good android phone and use Google Navigation with live traffic. Use a car mount.

Does anybody know if the Garmins with traffic control work in Israel as such? If you have the Israel Maps? Thanks.

Don't think so.....or at least mine doesn't
traffic works by suscription/code on the traffic receiver don't think israel has that service

I agree with Yitz, your best bet in Israel is Waze app on smartphone's.
It includes traffic and all!

Amazing is Israel..   Was actually created by Israelis!

How is Waze better than Google Maps Navigation?
