Nissan Xavi Birdview in my Murano
Tomtom 910 as portable in hire cars and the Vauxhall

But upgrading ICE as soon as I can make up my mind, and it will be either the Kenwood DNX8200 (based upon Garmin) or the Alpine IVA-W505 with Blackbird II portable/dockable satnav...Probably gonna be the later one as I do like a portable system for hire cars...

i found with the tom tom while in the city of london it couldnt give me the right directions, buildings to tall, one min it was turn left then a sec later it told me to go right, i was dripping with sweat and went round in circles for half an hr, i found it the best to use over all though over about 4 ive used including garmin and navman and sony

Classic problem of using a hand held sat nav in a city or built up areas with tall buildings and tunnels.

Not a problem you will encounter with a dedicated In Car System  :y

Agreed !  ;D

Even the 'old and slow and useless' Carin system as fitted to pre-facelift Omegas can navigate quite successfully without a GPS signal.

Just bought my W reg Elite and it came fitted out with the SmartNav system incl. touch-screen link http://www.smartnav.com/satellite-navigation/gps-touch-screen.asp Only used it a couple of times so far but am well impressed. Prefer it to my Dell Axim 51v with CoPilot 7. Maybe just because the screen is closer to my ancient eyes and I can read it better  :)

Will see over the next few weeks how well it performs regarding re-routing etc due to traffic congestion on our fortnightly trips to Norfolk. Once we get past Easter all roads to Norfolk from London get really busy i.e. M11, A14, A11, A47 or M11, A11, A14, A143 or M25, A12 so will be interesting to see whether it advises any other routes.

I used to have Dell Axim X51v with TomTom, then I sold it and bought TT 520 + Western and Central Europe map and I must say that it is the best satnav I've had as at the moment I'm testing Route66 and Garmin on my N95-2 and it is just crap compairing to TomTom.
