I use MapSource on debian+wine and don't find it to be slow or draw ugly.

I completely disagree with you. City Navigator contains lots of errors 
in the data (that you can't fix as you can with OSM) and makes you 
travel longer/slower/wrong routes in many cases. I have used my OSM maps 
in Spain with better routing than when I used garmin CN maps in the 
past. I also used them in Switzerland, Portugal and Morocco without 
problems, provided the area you are traveling is enough covered by OSM 
(beforehand checking in MapSource is essential in that cases).
