Tom Toms are extremely easy to customize and update.

Many models have exactly the same hardware with features disabled on the cheaper models. By loading modified firmware you can change an entry model into a full featured one. Maps are readily available and are easily added to the main memory or sd card. They are generally updated 4 times a year. I have changed the maps and used the Tom Tom in both Europe and Australia.

My brother has a Garmin and he is basically is stuck with the stock firmware and map updates are expensive.

I can give you some links If you want to do some research.
