What is the best Sat Nav to buy?

I am after a new sat nav and seeing that there are many out there which is the better model?
I have a clapped out old Binatone thing and its on its way out.
I will need one for the summer coming up.

Apparently this one takes some beating - the Garmin nuvi 3598LMT-D.
Many people are saying it is far better than the Tom Tom.

Not always a good idea.
I prefer Tom Tom sat navs.

I have a TomTom sat nav and its been ok with me so far.
It still tries to take me up narrow dust roads though.
Then when it does that you have to reverse and go a long way to get back on a different route.
All you do is go to the settings and ask it to calculate an alternative route otherwise it will bring you back to the narrow dirt track again.
