Partner has new Garmin Nuvi - prefers to tomtom and I like the interface. Worked reasonably well in Spain too. Lifetime upgrades and all Europe.
I'd say Garmin
My car ( a scooby legacy) has it built in. Really got used to that.
I do use Google Maps for live traffic though on an iphone
I have a 8 or 9 year old Tom Tom, it was a fairly basic one at the time, for A to B routing it works great. A friend has a much newer fancier Garmin sat nav and says he prefers my old Tom Tom. The maps are better to look at and understand when driving and says the routing is more intelligent even though mine is older.
I have a older Tom tom and a newer Garmin and I prefer the tom tom. Its not as nice to use as the Garmin but I trust it much more than the Garmin. The Garmin (as mentioned) seems to have really questionable route choices where as the TomTom seems to keep it simpler and its much easier to read at junctions than the Garmin, which I find pretty hard to read at roundabouts etc.
