Is Garnin better than Tomtom?

I bought a Tomtom GPS a while back, and I have found it to be beyond
useless. It's so bad, it tells me to turn into corn fields in the
middle of freeways, and has gone so far as to lead me completely the
wrong way, or down roads that dead end after 10 miles of driving down
rural gravel roads. It's less than a year old, so it's not outdated.
I think the Tomtom is just plain garbage. This past weekend it nearly
went bonkers on me. I knew the route I was traveling, I just had the
Tomtom turned on to see if it lead me the right way. It was so poor
that I have decided to never use it again. I'm going to sell it at
our garage sale, and in all honesty I doubt I'll ever buy another GPS
after this horrible experience. But just for grins, I was told that
Garmin is much better. Is it?

Hi, have been using a Garmin now for a couple of years and have had
no complaints. It does a great job and the only adverse comment I
could make was the fault of the owner (me). Somehow a check mark
disappeared in the program settings and I ended up on a dirt road with a
MH and a tow car and no place to turn around. But again not the fault
of the GPS. Would I buy another one? Definitely yes!

Posting in a garmin group is likely to get biased answers, but I think
they are. Enough that I'm willing to pay the small amount more money
than I could spend on a feature-equivalent TomTom and miss out on
exciting things like being able to change the navigation voice to Darth
Vader or whetever it is this week. It does seem to be something of a
TomTom foible to be ... enthusiastic about declaring map features to be
roads.
