I much prefer 2D, which to my mind give a more realistic indication of bends and twists on the road ahead on cross country journeys, together with the ability to see shortcuts if the road ahead is jammed. I'm also one who prefers portrait view. Why TomTom put all the info across the bottom of the screen, further reducing the depth available I'll never know.

Tried 2D today. Garmin i3 zooms out too far to make it usable for me..

That is exactly the problem with Garmin - they zoom in steps unlike TomTom and they can't seem to get the zoom level right. While TomTom gives the driver a perfect tactical view (i.e. you see the road (or the map in general) just as far enough ahead as necessary), Garmin seem to zoom too far out.
