I have a Magellan Roadmate - it sucks. It routes poorly, sometimes sending one in one direction for miles only to have us U-turn and double back. This has happened a few times. It has also routed us (by us I mean my employees who apparently have no sense of direction, nor the inclination to look at a map) miles (as in hundreds) out of the way. One time a two hour ride was turned into an 8 hour ride. There are no "fixes" according to the Magellan website. Never again.
I tried a Tom-Tom but returned it immediately. It sucks too. As mentioned by others, the North American maps are not so great. Forget about navigating around Canada. Even though it has the maps for Canada, they are woefully inadequate.
Stick with Garmin. Much, much better maps. I was just at Costco and they had one for $169.00. I think it was the 250W. Maybe not the latest greatest, but still better than even the best Tom-Tom or Magellan because no matter how many bells and whistles you ad, if the maps suck, the maps suck.
