I use a Garmin 2610 and had my company purchase the European maps for it.
They pay me by the hour on trips so they can pay for being lost or pay for
me quickly getting to my destination. Its better than being lost as the
highways over there can get complicated fast. Also, some cars in Europe have
windshields that block GPS signals so its good to have an external antenna
available.
