So far this year, these are the top 5 selling GPS models for 2009:

Nothing too shocking here. The less expensive, basic models sell the best, with Garmin taking the top 3 places.
I'm slightly surprised that Magellan's not in the top 5, since in many ways Magellan provides more features per dollar than Garmin or TomTom. Although given Magellan's lack of consistency in its product line and persistent customer service issues, it's not terribly surprising to see them lose market share.
I buy Garmin instead of Magellan because updating software and downloading maps is much easier on a Garmin.Since I own Mac computers Garmin wins because they are Mac friendly.If not for that ,I would prefer Magellan
Fletch, how about writing about MSN and Garmin, that is a big news since sliced bread
