Good maps should get you around Europe. Even with GPS, it is good to use good maps, if only to make sure the GPS makes sense. Also good when the batteries die or signal is blocked, or someone runs off with your GPS. Sometimes simpler is better.
On rereading your post, I realize you are talking about another style GPS mapping.I'm not familiar with it. Sounds like the computer takes the signal from the GPS and programs into directions.
Handheld GPS has features that will tell you how far away something is located, and how quickly you are approaching. Gotta read the built in map yourself though.
Noticed your post below. Thought about going to Portugal? Everyone I've talked to that has gone really likes it, esp the beach.
