I'm not too concerned about Bluetooth speakerphones or traffic data or mp3 playing ability or customizable waypoints. I just want to get him an easy-to-use unit that has good pre-installed map data and a solid display.
I'd go with the Garmin. While TomTom is also easy to use, it has a lot more features. And in your case it sounds like features are not what you need.

The Garmins are so easy to program even a caveman could do it.
