  • Hi There

    Have had mine 2 weeks - good but not the best

    Only searches post codes down to 4 digits. Mapping is though excellent

    HOWEVER

    The gadget show recently did a Sat Nav review and at the same price point the TomTom 100 came out tops. In hindsight i should have gone for one of these

    Hope that helps

    TomTom standalone units are quite good, only trouble is their customer service is pants.

    I went down the route of a PDA with navigation software as it also gave the functionality of a pocket pc, which I find useful.

    A very useful feature is "points of interest" overlay - where you can display selectable points of interest onto your route map - perhaps petrol stations, McDonalds, or best of all, speed camera sites. Overlay lists are widely available for TomTom software running on a PDA.

    You only really find out how good your navigation system is when it takes you the the wrong place completely!
