May take a bit of effort to get all the options spot on, but at least you have the option. If you can't be ar*ed to play with settings the defaults are as good as the others and probably better.

And the maps are always available with updates, not free but they are available if you think it's worth paying to be up to date.

Garmin - a sat nav for people who can read maps and navigate but would rather let a machine do it sometimes. Tom tom - a sat nav for people who can't read maps. Nothing wrong with that of course just choose the one that suits you.
tom tom does all that with the routes too, even foot routes!

and whats the point in having a sat nav if you have to do the work? but lets be honest is not always right you have to have a brain to use one
