I use a TomTom & it has been fine - not flawless but fine. I drop into unfamiliar cities all of the time, so it is a mandatory tool. I want a big screen. Many phones would fail here. I want to be able to glance at it & see the map & the next street prompts on the screen. I haven't got time to study it. I also want a screen big enough with big enough 'keys' that I can change on the fly. I also want uninterrupted service. In Sicily, in Alabama, in Vegas. Anywhere. It has to speak to me legibly. I currently use the Antiguan male voice - kind of like an angry Rasta. Much better than that stuckup English hussy that I used to use & verbally abuse . . .

The Garmins that I have seen seem fine as well, but when I bought it, I wanted the most Europe-friendly device for vacations.
