[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 223805, member: 2862"] StreetCop, In my own opinion, its kind of a toss up between Garmin and Magellan. Each seems to be as accurate as the other. The local RCMP use Magellan handheld units, however that may be because they happened to be the cheapest. I looked at replacing my old Garmin EMap with a Magellan. What I found was that the Magellan unit had a nicer interface, and was a little faster on screen redraws (my eMap is old though, so that isn't a fair comparison). The Magellan also had _slightly_ better route building ability built into the unit. My eMap is poor. Having said that, my EMap, even though its not WAAS enabled, was almost as accurate as the Magellan with WAAS. I also locked onto satellites faster. And the software, MapSource, for the PC is much better than the Magellan software. I also had one button push to save a point on the map, should I be off-highway. The Magellan unit forced me through a couple menus. Hope this helps a bit. Rod [/QUOTE]
