Heh, how about the new 696? $3295 if you use Sporty's
free shipping. I haven't included the cost of the updates.
Back on topic. I don't have any experience with the Tom
Tom, but I will say after using Garmin products, they are
intuitive in *most* of the functions, on any unit that I've
tried. That includes in the airplane too. Mom just bought
a Nuvi 250 and I tried it out. She returned it because she
wanted the FM transmitter. Sensitivity was pretty good
and it worked. Personally, I use my phone with Live search
and google maps. I still prefer the map detail that I can get
on the phone, in comparison to any of the GPS units.
Sure I can change them to map mode, but they still don't
have the detail I'm used to. I went from a pc/gps with Streets
and Trips and now using the phone with built in GPS. YMMV.

I'd LOVE to have a 496, or whatever the latest model with the XM weather, etc.
is. But that's 10X my budget :-(
