So which brand is better? I've been reading some awful reviews of the
TomTom software/maps upgrading process. Is Garmin any better?

Cheers!

Many of us think so. So many new models every years it is not easy to
give a definitive answer unless you try them together. I've been very
happy with my Garmin though.

I would prefer a Tom Tom. I am biased in my answer because I'm living in
Holland :-)

Don't understand why living in Holland makes a difference??

Worked OK for me recently. However:

(1) Twice during the download TomTom Home twice lost contact with the
server and had to be restarted, but a re-start seamlessly picked up from
where the break occurred.

(2) The new W.Europe file size exceeded the internal 1GB RAM, so I had
to insert the 2GB SD card on which I had been keeping the S.Africa and
W.Europe maps.
