Im Garmin bias but I look at Tomtoms as fisher price and Garmin as Makita.
One is a toy, one is tool.
Garmins have mapsource/basecamp to plan your routes on the PC, don't think tomtom has that feature.
Tomtom has the bendy road feature, Garmin doesn't.
Tomtom mounts are famously bad, heard lots of stories of it flying down the road but that was a few years ago, maybe the issue has been resolved.
Neither have a stereo built in, I like music on long trips.
Tomtom is bulkier than the garmin.
Garmin is faster at calculating routes and the screen is more glove friendly.
