« on: 17 September 2010, 01:58:59 »
Been considering one for ages.

Checked out the specs at the start of the week  and decided to go for one of these.

Had a play with it and set my preferances, am very happy with it so far and love the new 5" screen.   :y

biggest issue i have with my tom tom is that you have to pay for the map updates.
My nokia has been used more recently due to free maps on it and works just as well :y

Whilst I have TomTom and others (got a selection, as few cover all countries) on my mobile phone, I never use it in the UK, as the 10yr old Siemens system is far, far, far better, despite lacking postcode inputs and speed camera warnings.

You can always rely on TomTom/Navman/Garmin or any other portable unit to let you down and screw you over (because Satnav makes you lazy, and you never look at a map and consider the journey beforehand).  Proper car systems work so much better.

I should add, I even rated the even older, slower CARiN fitted to minifacelifts more than my shiny, whizzy TomTom unit.  In fact I replaced my TomTom with a CARiN (long since removed now in favour of the Siemens)
