magellan gps accessories

Looking for a GPS Gamin Vs Magellan, can you help me identify what features to look for?

I want to stay around $250 Is the verbal street name and turn info that important? What about maps and what is the advantage of Blue Tooth on GPS? Users please help!

3. I have a Garmin Nuvi 200 series - I think it's great. It's my first GPS so any help with directions is awesome. I've only had mine for about 9 months now so I can help with basic features: 1. Verbal Commands: I really believe this is a must. When driving in busy streets you do not want to have to take your eyes off of the road. to look at the GPS every turn - plus the system is great at getting you to think 1 step ahead. "in 1 mile turn right, the turn left"... so you know you'll need to get in the left lane after the right hand turn... something small but important. 2. Maps & Local Services: Make sure that whichever unit you get has a substantial database of maps already available. Smaller GPS companies often charge for access to maps & you can buy the unit... then realize it doesn't have the map coverage or database you need. I use search on my GPS to find bank ATM's, food & places to have fun... so having a good database of local services is nice. Both Garmin & Magellan have affordable upgrades to maps online if you need more - but their basic maps work well. 3. Bluetooth - couldn't help you there! I don't use this feature I guess in summary - for $250 you can get a lot. I have only an experience with Garmin - I think it's great. But I've heard good things about Magellan as well. My use may not directly align with yours - but I'd recommend that you had voice command for sure!
