What GPS do YOU use in Europe?

Let me know what GPS you use and why (Europe only).

There are a number of options out there, and rather than take a guess based on reviews all over the place, I'd think it better to see one place (thread) with reviews, experiences, stories, etc.

What navigation software do you use and why?
Have you tried anything else out?
If so, what did and didn't you like about it?

I'm using a Global Sat BU353 receiver.
It sits on top of the dash and is small and relatively unobtrusive

Map software is (Mapfactor / Directions) PC Navigator 7.
It comes in two flavours, PDA and PC. The maps are also up to date.

I had previously used MapMonkey with Destinator

Currently nothing because i'm doing a reinstall on my system. Having some trouble with it as well.
My reciever: Globalsat BU353

Software: Destinator 6 with destinator 3 maps.

Reasons for use.
It works reasonably well, updates quickly and runs smoothly. Big buttons and easy to use menus. It's skinable. Maps are pretty comprehensive.

I'd like to use destinator 7 but it lags like hell. Very slow and quite buggy. Very nice interface though.

I use navigator 7

I have not used it enough to give recommendations, but I can say that it is pricy.

I choose it because of its SDK that makes it great to skin
