Yes, Garmin is by far the easiest as long as you have the right format maps. Unlike other WinCE systems you do not need to load a plethora of software. You just need the map in the correct format. Thanks to their popularity the map options you get in plenty.
TomTom has a problem here. They have a proprietory map format just like so many others but you do not find India maps for them so easily. I mean off the shelf good options (with MMI, Satguide etc) are simply not there in the case of TomTom. Also, for some unknown reason (unknown to me) TomTom seems to have seized a lot of territory to Garmin in major markets like US. People there somehow are not so comfy with TomTom anymore and this shows in the Garmin's ever-increasing market share there. Just the other day I read a press statement where Garmin apparently claimed that they now have over 58% US market share which is the largest by far.
