When I turn my car on the GPS does not come on automatically. when i turn of the car it stays on 30 sec and then turns off. is there someting i can do to fix this?

You can't fix it. It's not broken. There is no way to get it to come on when you start the car. Some other brands might have that feature, but tomtoms don't.

I'm curious which you would pick between the two.

I can get the TomTom Go 720 for $350 CAD
and the Garmin Nuvi 250w for $350 CAD as well ($370 with a 3 year warranty and some swag too!)

The main differences between the two are:
the TomTom has voice to text ("Turn right on Eglinton") vs the Nuvi is just voice "Turn Right Ahead"

The TomTOm has 2BG internal storage, whereas the Nuvi uses a SD Card.

Nice to haves
TomTom Go 720
- can integrate my ipod with it and have it broadcast to my car stereo so i don't need my current fm transmitter
- bluetooth compatable with my cell phone!

Nuvi 250w
- can use Garmin travel guides, which would be nice for our trip to europe
- I understand it will go longitude and latitude searches, so I can geocache if I wanted to with it.
- has a walking mode, which TomTom does not (might only use on...

I have a garmin 340c, but it has voice to text... I would not recommend anyone buy a navigation system without that feature... You don't need to be looking away from the road constantly to look at your Navi to determine what road you're supposed to be turning on. Also exit ramps etc change all the time so sometimes it may be off by .10 of a mile and without it specifically telling you where to turn you could easily miss exits etc. So between your choices I'd go with the tom tom... but look into current prices of the 340c, I love it.
