I need a new GPS and have heard great things about Tom-Tom.  Which model would you recommend in the $125-$150 range?

Do not buy a Tom-Tom. My mom has one, but she also owns a Jitterbug phone.

At least step up to a Magellan.

Garmin 2595LMT with voice activation.

Lifetime maps and the voice activation is awesome.

I've yet to tell it a command it didn't understand.

Garmin.

The jitterbug was a great comparison. lol.... If you're buying it for a technophobe, then maybe a tomtom. Otherwise, garmin or magellan.

From what I understand the new apple ios6 maps uses a Tom Tom engine and well we heard the reviews on that. I wouldn't have one. Garmin all the way for me.

The Garmin one. That is the best.

I own two Magellan's and a Navigon that I picked up back in 2007 during a black friday sale at newegg  (Euro company that no longer makes hardware), but if I was going to get a new one today it would be a higher end Garmin with lifetime maps.

My All my sons friends that have Tom Tom call them Dumb Dumb

My brothers Tom Tom used to tell him to take roads that didn't exist & turn of the side of a bridge with no exit ramp coming up.

My TomTom was fine when it was brand new but it has been getting flaky (it's about 4 years old now).  The maps need to be updated but I'm going to buy a Garmin instead.
