My wife and I made a trip up to northern Ohio Saturday. We decided to compare the Our Garmin Nuvi and Droid X navigation. We used the both on the drive up to compare, but used the directions the garmin gave us. Then we used the Droid X for the trip home.
We did get differing sets of directions from each. The Garmin took us on a 3 hour drive and ended up in some kind of obscure places. At one point seemed to be in a amish area where we had to slow down a few times for horse and buggies, had to be careful going around curves and over hills and the roads were winding as well.
For the return trip, the Droid did not take us on those back roads, and the trip took us about 2.5 hours. We were happier with the directions of the Droid over the Garmin.
Our only two complaints of the Droid was the speaker volume and some streets aren't named correctly. For example, on a trip home we are supposed to turn left onto Johnson rd. But were told to turn left onto River Rd. River Rd is the road directly across from Johnson, but not the same road.
I'll continue to use the Garmin, though for most trips. It does have more features and options on it.
