I have a 5 year old Garmin that I rarely use, thanks to Google Maps on my
phone. The only thing I ever use the Garmin for is the ability to find places
to eat on my route. Google will find everything around me, but limiting the
search to the road I am on is a handy feature on long drives. There may be a
way to do this on G Maps, but I haven't found it.
One other comment on Garmins. I definitely agree about the importance of
getting one with lifetime updates, but one thing I noticed was that each
update seemed to further tax the system. The device became slower every time I
updated the maps.
