I have a Garmin Nuvi which I've used throughout UK & Europe for a year or so & found to be easy to use and accurate, drove straight to Val de Vienne with no reference to a map before or during the journey, daft I know but there were mitigating circumstances.
Also used a company Tom Tom 1 in the wilds of East Anglia for a fortnight, again easy to use and accurate, at least for the custom POI's pre-loaded.
Personally I prefer the Garmin, it has more features that I find useful such as auto-switching to night mode at dusk (and back at sunrise) & better "trip" info, all important for charging mileage.
I've listened to a few of the "celebrity voices" & although initially amusing I would think they would begin to grate after a few hours at the wheel.
