My eTrex Legend HCx without European basemap gives me better routing
than mapsource does.

I think this is really map dependent.

With my maps (openmtbmap.org), Mapsource gives much better routing, because on GPS routes quickly go over the maximum direction change number, which is much lower on GPS compared to Mapsource. Routes have to be "fixed" with wingdb if longer than 5-20km, because otherwise vista HCx can't recalculate them.

So GPS is better in calculation straight routes via highways (e.g. with street-centric maps, or City Navigator) but run quickly out of memory on maps sending you offroad. This is either with nonroutable US or nonroutable OSM Basemap.
