A recent review (technically just a personal opinion) came out comparing Magellan 3000T and Sony NV-U70. Sony NV-U70 (nav-u series) is listed at $500 (currently $100 rebate going on) and the Magellan 3000T is listed at $600. For the comparison, the Magellan unit tested was not out of the box, it was in-dash version whereas the Sony was out of the box.

Author thought that the Magellan interface was more intuitive than the Sony and the NV-U70 was lacking in the POI department. The review found the Magellan 3000T to be better because it found the autor’s favorite hot dog stand.

Even its [the NV-U70] tall, orange box looks trendier than what the Magellan comes packaged in. However, I immediately found searching for points of interest, with its prompt of “Category 1,” “Category 2” and “Point of Interest (Please Select),” very confusing.

As I drove, I liked that the names of landmarks, such as museums and ATMs, appeared on the map.
