Well, the major advantage of Garmin sat navs is the very easy way of planning trips with your computer and send it to the device. No other sat nav I know does have this advantage. Most of the other sat nav manufactures don't have any planning software. If one need just navigation from point A to B. Get a cheap one.

and garmin sucks in that matter. Too many times its road selections are simply stupid, illogical and make no sense whatsoever. e.g I was driving once the highway and I knew my target was just off that road many miles ahead and it all of the sudden told me to exit, make big detour and come back to same highway...fortunately I didn't listen to garmin idiotic suggestions...
I could write more about very bad garmin navigation program but no time for it.
Did you do any firmware upgrade to maybe improve road navigation? Sometimes Garmin fixes errors/issues with new firmware versions. So checking for new firmware versions is compulsory. Checking the route and GPS settings as well. Did you get the latest maps?
And remember: Travelling with a sat nav can be a great adventure:-).
