not seen or used one, but there it is.
I have the TomTom and like it. however the fixed fit is an issue. Cannot use it with an iPhone 4 and older iPhone (the rubber kit to make it work with the iPhone 4 means you can't use an older iPhone). No cases either. Was leaning towards the Magellan, but the silly AUX setup was a deal breaker for me.
If you don't use a case, don't mind taking it out of the case, or only have an iPhone 4 (or earlier models) it works great and is well built.
FYI...the handsfree calling is poor. I can barely understand the person I'm talking to. Not something I hardly ever use. I got it for GPS navigation, AUX out, and a way to safely mount it in my car. Hands free calling is just a bonus that isn't very good.
