Yeah, well, the difference is that TomTom's products are actually *good*. I switched from the latest in a series of Garmin GPSes to TomTom's Palm-based Navigator 5 software last year and I don't miss a single thing about the Garmin units. The TomTom feature set is great, the configurability is great, the Internet connectivity (auto-routing around traffic jams) is great. Garmin's stuff is slow, clunky, and awkward in comparison.
I don't care who came up with this stuff first, but I know who's done a better job of it. If TomTom has to stop selling in the US, I'm glad I bought mine already.
