    Do I detect the "North of Watford" syndrome creeping into Norn Ireland
    Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    just another word of warning. If you're looking to get one for the Traffic updates (TMC), Trafficmaster "have no plans to provide the resources to obtain and disseminate traffic information for Northern Ireland."

    I guess andykolo would say that there is no traffic in Norn Iron (apart from Belfast) so we would not need any traffic updates!

    I used to have a signature with links to the League Tables for good/bad shipping charges for Northern Ireland. But I have since learnt that this is against site rules - so they are no longer here! PM me if you need them

    haven't tried one, but it from what I can find it has Navteq maps so you should be good for coverage - but dont' quote me on that ;)

  • Navigon is bringing out MN|6 in September - it has the very latest NI / RoI maps on board (details of every road & street). The AA Navigator has this mapping and is out now.

    I purchased a Garmin Streetpilot C320 alot of months back (uses navteq maps), and can honestly say I am well pleased with it.

    NI coverage is superb - havent had anything ropey with it at all, knows every wee side street there is LOL.

    Rest of GB is exactly the same,

    ROI though only really does main roads there, doesn't recognise everything cos noticed on a recent trip that sometimes I would of been in no-mans land according to the sat nav system. But was still able to get around I might add.

    Some of the features on the unit are great also

    Look it up def rec it
