GPS 4.3" Widescreen

[George Burke]

I am looking at giving my self a early Xmas gift,(Guy code for I don't want the wife to Know about this just Yet). I have narrowed it down to the Garmin Nuvi 205W, and the Magellan Roadmate 1412. I like the 4.3" wide screen on these units, and they are currently on sale at roughly $150. The Magellan has maps of the U.S. and Canada, while the comparable Garmin only covers the lower 48 + Hawaii & P.R. Both carry a 1 Yr. P&L warranty. Would like to hear from any of you who own one or more of these things. Need input on the pluses and minuses of both units. If you had a bad experience with oneor the other, would love to hear how either of these companies took care of you. Thanks, George Burke 1977 FC31 Charlotte
