    The current best seller on Amazon is awesome and excellent value for the money. I personally went for the more expensive Garmin (765T) which is the bestseller on the American site. Needless to say I am super pleased with it.
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????
  • I have found the TomTom One a great sat nav and it has never let me down on my 30,000 miles a year travels.

    We used to use Garmin at work and they arent quite as easy or as clear in driving instruction.

    The maps on my Blackberry Storm are "live" regarding traffic and cameras but the TomTom is by far the best.

    Hope this helps....
