    just tried it .... looks like they charge to get the database now!!

    It used to be free ... well, it was back in December last year when I last updated my Tomtom.

    If you have just bought the unit there should be a voucher in the box giving you a free trial of the speed camera database from Tomtom.

    Tomtom is probably the easiest and most user friendly system to use. The main problem would be the ability of your father to understand and sensibly interpret the instructions it is giving.

    As he doesn't have a blue tooth mobile and isn't likely to go to Europe, would the new TomTom one be OK?

    It should do the job fine.
