How does this stack up to the Garmin Nuvi?

I've found the Magellan UI awesome but it has at least one fatal flaw for me. Nowhere on the Maps can you see CITY information. So when looking a zoomed out map - there are no cities shown. Makes it impossible to find things for me.

Furhter - when inputing an address, one of the intial decision juntions is "city". Well - I have no clue if a given hockey arena etc, is in Vaughn or Toronto or North York. But the unit REQUIRES you to know this.

Mark Lue and I had a very good debate about this and it works well for him - so it might not be a universally damning flaw. Just beware - if you think like I do - you'll struggle with this unit.
