Ive never tried the Navman units, but I have had the opportunity to test out the Garmins, Tom Tom and Magellan units (for my job). I am partial to the Garmin Nuvi line of products. Easy to use, lots of features, nice display, portable and small size. Dont know how I ever lived without one. Ill have to check those out to see how the compare.
