We use Delorme Street Atlas in the big rig. In the toad we use a Garmin. It has flaws, but we get by with it. We use the Rand McNally in the little motorhome we bought to take to Alaska. I really like it. Unfortunately, we cannot use it in the toad, because it has a 7-inch screen and takes up too much space. But it was great on the Alaska trip. It has more of a learning curve but it has many features I like better than the Garmin.

Neither, Garmin here!

We got the Magellan 1700 because of the large screen that could take aux video inputs. We have extra cameras on the trailer that I can switch on to show on the large screen when needed. The GPS itself drives my wife crazy, since it's a relatively slow computer that takes a while to search. It actually works fine, but you need to be patient for it to catch up to what you want sometimes. So, if GPS only is what you want, don't get that one. I've had good luck with Garmin and some Tom Toms in other vehicles.

All the readings I have done on the subject tell me to chose between Garmin and Rand McNally. Magellan has terrible customer service.
