I have the tomtom 300. It has full 7 digit postcode search and street name search for the whole of europe.
The best thing is it tells me(and warns) of all the speed cam locations including the mobile van ones which is usefull.

Saves so much time, you will never look back once you have one.

I bought a Navman icn

Had it replaced twice. It didn't find MOST streets etc.
I then took it back and got a TomTom go, and its excellent.

Go to Comet and have a look at the Acer N35 PDA £249.00. Does everything the TomTom does and more (and costs less money!)

Hi Guys

Don't know what Lens talking about.... His got one of those silly machines on his dashboard BUT guess what ???? He still gets lost and goes the wrong way. :P :P

A-Z cheaper, but he can't see it.

Take the third exit, so Len takes the second exit... I give up. :-\ You should see him on a one way street... everybody else is going the wrong way ???

only joking mate ;D
