Personally, I'd look at either the Garmin 60CS or 76CS, the latter having
more memory, and of course costing more ;-)

You wouldn't get all the maps for Europe in either, you'd need to upload
the maps you require from a PC as and when you need them, but the 76CS
does have higher capacity (115 MB, 60CS 56MB).

Here are links to the Garmin site for the specifications of both:

http://www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap60cs/
http://www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap76cs/

The site does of course list all their products, so you may find something
else. I have no experience of the products of any other company so I can't
really comment.

Hope this helps.
