Hi All,

I am in the market for a new sat nav system, I very much like the look of both the TomTom Go 5000 and the Garmin Nuvi 3598 LMT-D. My main requirements are accurate traffic information, accurate routing and the ability to run the PGPSW speed camera database, cost isn't too much of an issue.

I understand that TomTom are currently beta testing third party POI support so my dilemma is should I wait for TomTom to release this or go for the Garmin, i'm prepared to wait for TomTom if this is the superior product of the two, what is the general opinion of this?

Thanks in advance.

I'm a Garmin fan, mainly because of the third party POI's as you mention. Also, last months Which? mag had a SatNav test roundup and yet again Garmin came 1st through 5th.

Personally though I wouldn't buy a 3598 based on the issues posted here. They may have been one off's but my 2599 has been rock solid, as was my 2597, and there is the 2699 if you want a bigger screen.

Have a look at what the 3598 has over the 2599 and do you need them.

Just my 2p
