I have been recommended to look at a Garmin as a replacement for our old TomTom GO 920, but it is difficult to know where to start.

Is there a comparative table of features anywhere?

(The particular features of interest to us that I am aware of being missing from, or inadequately implemented, on current TomTom models are:
- user-defined POIs: creating them on the device while out and about, then copying them to a PC for amalgamation with other POI sets and reimporting to the device
- creating multi-point itineraries and saving them for re-use.)

As per your other thread every Garmin will do that provided you get one with trip planner. You'll need to decide what else is important?

Note I am assuming you're using the term POI where Garmin uses favourites? You create favourites on the device, and can them merge them with other data on your PC.

I'd certainly recommend you get one with digital traffic, so you need one that ends with LMT-D, that indicates life time maps and digital traffic.

I'm sure there is, or was, a compare feature on Garmin's website.

Shows all features with a yes/no check against each feature.

There's a comparison chart here that might help.

Few errors there as my 2508 for example does have real directions. For those unsure what that is you get instructions like turn left at the traffic lights, turn right at macdonalds etc.

If you go to the Garmin website you can select a number of models and click the compare button and it will list and compare them. Here's an example

Thanks for the links. Plenty to get my teeth into.

Am I right in thinking that Drive models are newer than Nuvi and intended to supersede them?

Yes, Drive models are the latest ones.
