A bit late to the party here, but my experience with Garmin is that it's a bit frustrating to use if you want to input multiple waypoints. My Nuvi (car model, but I use it in a waterproof pouch) will only let me insert one "via" point along a journey. When I was recently in the Pyrenees I had to manually enter all of my points of interests and save them to Favourites, then keep stopping along the way to enter the next couple of places.
By contrast, I've previously used a TomTom and you seemed to be able to enter as many waypoints as you wanted, which meant programming in a complicated route really easy.
Also, my Garmin seems to have an annoying habit of taking me down stupid tiny roads that aren't really roads, or aren't as fast or direct as it thinks they are.
I will probably look to move away from Garmin when I next do a big trip. It's ok if you're literally going Point A to Point B, but for touring around when you want to take scenic routes and not just the fastest or most direct route it's pretty inflexible.
