One of the big draws of the Nuvi is the unvbelievably small form factor. It is somthing that you can slip in your shirt pocket and then it's on your windshield isn't hanging there like a brick. It also makes it a convenient GPS for when you're on foot in an unfamiliar city. One of the software features of the Nuvi that is appealing is the use of street names rather than just telling you to turn in 100 feet.

The Magellans are pretty good but they just seem so big and clunky to me. I guess I'm taken with how slick the Nuvi is.
