I have a traditional Garmin GPS unit that I'm happy with.Any reason to switch to this new unit?

No, unless you want to use your phone instead of your GPS unit. So then you have to also buy the app on your phone and pair it to the display.

I've been using the Mio c310x for over 10 months now. My first and only GPS unit to date, so I can't comment much on teh Garmin c320. -the Mio has 3.5mil POIs. Didn't know much back then, but that is kind of a low amt, but it's still something to work with -Navteq used to overall superior, but ever since Mio finally came out with the map update for the c310x back around 9/2007, I thought i read somewhere here saying now says that Navteq no longer enjoys it's supremecy, but can't find the direct quote http://www.gpslodge.com/archives/008669.php -mp3 player isn't very good. Still better than nothing, but not very good at all. No way to fast forward/rewind within tracks. Surprising since it's touted to be an ebook reader. Hate to have to start a 30min track all over again to get to where u left off. Playlists are hard to work with. I just gave up on them, leaving them in order they were added to the device. I've used and made playlists in winamp 2.81, Windows Media Player 9, and 4th gen ipod with ease, but half the time, I'd rather use my PDA as an mp3 player if it were b/w these 2 for music -contrary to what's around, the c310x does NOT come with Canadian maps, preinstalled or otherwise -US maps are preloaded my next GPS device will have many more POIs, and text2speech, but my c310x gets me to where i wanna go, even in unkonwn territory

I recently purchased the Garmin 885 T . I was dissapointed I could not switch to miles to destination on main screen from arrival timeGarmin did make it very easy to find destination distance --simply say TRIP COMPUTER and screen changes to dashboard view and distance to my destination is there.Say back and I am on main screen againVoice recognition on this unit is so good, I can easily accept what could be considered an inconvenience.SincerelyRichard

The navigation I think works really well. But I do believe a Garmin is a little more easier to use. But in all once you know what you're doing with this navigation is is awesome!

Petersen:Try e-mailing tech support instead.I e-mailed tech support (techsupp@garmin.com) instead of product support and have been told I'm in the order que, at no charge, for the DVD of the new v. 2008 maps when the DVD is released. I explained my situation and asked if they could help me out, as the v. 2008 is now really the "current" version, and they did. (I received my unit about a week ago from Amazon with the old maps; the new version was already being shipped to some customers at that time.)

I don't know. I returned the item as it was too difficult to operate. I only will use Garmin now.

The don't work together. Both are GPS units and neither needs the other to function. Each does the same job, it's just that one has a larger display than the other.

I don't know. Garmin has excellent customer service. I'll bet they can answer you. Or try GPSCity.com. You can call them, too.

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this one. I purchased a new unit but can tell you that all of the user information and map updates are readily available on the Garmin internet site.

Yes, the problem you may run into is lack of memory for your unit. The current memory cards are beyond the units ability. Your only option is to get one from Garmin or only load a partial update for your area.

if you use this model you will need to instal the sensor + the magnet, i would recomend you to use the new garmin sensor Garmin Bike Cadence Sensor cause it doesnt need the magnet (its a gyroscope)

That I don't really know. I was considering the Rand McNally but wanted to stay with Garmin

I would say if you are happy with the TT, why bother going thru all the steps to return it. If you haven;t used the TT yet then I probably would go with the Garmin since you already are familiar with it.

I'm sorry I don't know that. You could call Garmin. I am really happy with mine.

They were not very current when the unit was made, perhaps ~1-2 yrs old at the time. The 3000T is ancient by today's standards. In fact, even when it was 'new' it was not very impressive compared to its peers! Also was unstable and locked up frequently. (the underlying OS was an imbedded Windows from what I recall) Unless you're getting this unit for FREE, I'd suggest staying away and getting something better like a Garmin. Forget about support from Magellan. Just my 2 cents as a former owner of one of these.
