OSM is very "doable" as per the sticky thread in here which has a lot of guidance about accessing OSM maps.

It's also very possible to use OSM maps via other means such as smart phones and tablets: quite a few of the android apps are using OSM mapping which does away with the necessity for loading them into a dedicated GPS.
I play around with the apps so nowadays I don't bother too much with putting OSM onto the Nuvi, but I do have most of Europe on an SD card within the Nuvi (done by following the instructions in the sticky thread).
ps Nearly forgot, the map view on the Nuvi is "in plan": I know what you mean about a 3D view (= a perspective other than vertical?) but my Nuvi doesn't have that (I have seen it with some of the apps and it is not important to me).
