I have not got any of the ones mentioned but have a TomTom Start 60 with the Camper Maps installed. We live in MK so go via Buckingham quite often and one difference I notice is that the car software wants to take you through Buckingham where as the Camper Maps takes you round the bypass. (sensible in both cases it you ask me!!!) I stll check the route just in case.

We only have an ordinary Garmin - fine for the car, or for the motorhome on A-roads. But not good for a motorhome off-piste. Then we use WifeNav in map reading mode to check the pretty C-road isn't too steep & bendy - our old motorhome can do it, but too often we've met folk coming fast downhill who cut blind corners, and a hill start in a loaded van resulted in the smoke and smell of a burning clutch. But WifeNav almost got fired when she forgot that the bridge over the burn would be as narrow as the road, and we all had to breath in to get over, including the dog. The SatNavs for lorries / motorhomes where you log in length and width do seem expensive, so I'll keep an eye on this discussion to see what ends up being recommended.

We have a Garmin and use this plus google maps to plot the route. We have a printout of the google route to complement showing where we have changed things. Garmin re routed very well when we went to the Mosel last summer.

Have a look at the 'Mio' range, I've had two in 13 years had to change last year as the Euro maps were out of date, the more you pay the better the systems, but this 'Mio' is spot on except of course for the odd new round-about that pops up in French villages, does offer alternative routes and traffic warnings also speed warnings, overall very good.

You need a TomTom with LIVE services and HD Traffic.
The BEST traffic-system ever.
Since we got HD Traffic, we have NEVER been stuck more than 5 minutes in traffic in Europe.

We have that system, but ignored it a few weeks ago on the M6. Boy, did we get stuck! The problem was that the overhead gantries did not say there was a queue until AFTER the junction we could have come off at, and of course it was too late then. Also, before the junction it told us that to Cannock it was 22 miles, 23 minutes, so no reason to suspect a problem with that info.
TomTom DID tell us about it, but we thought the overhead gantries would be more up to date. Not so obviously, and we got stuck for over an hour between 2 junctions. We learnt our lesson that day, never to ignore it again.
