Been using my Nuvi 370 for the past few weeks in Holland. It is very good on the highways and larger roads, failed rather miserably in the centre of Amsterdam (couldn't keep up to the changes it seems). On a bicycle it is OK, but it sometimes is a poor chooser of route, and if there is a road, canal, road with bike pathways on both sides, it seems to be unable to distinguish which side you are on (not unreasonable considering it probably has 10 m accuracy and the road is like 3 m wide!).
Using it as a pedestrian just plain sucks and it is not helpful. I tried changing modes and accuracy, it just doesn't really have the precision, especially when in relatively narrow streets and such.
It would be nice to have a bigger screen (I think the 600 series has it) but then the whole shebang gets more awkward to carry around.
Has it been good....absolutely, it has made navigation here very much easier, but not perfect. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat , but might look at Tom Tom if Europe was my target.
