    Well I've just been and bought one from Irlam in Manchester, SA said they had originally had 21 with only 6 left (had to ask for one).. so I'm delighted that I have one!! I've wanted a Sat Nav for ages. I'm just about to go try installing it.

    I've just been out trying my new toy!:T

    My other half has a Tom Tom so I was interested to see how this compares.
    I found it fine to use - obviously you have to get used to its own particular way of programing and the way that the directions are given to you, but all in all I was very happy with it.

    It does just what I need it to and no more - i.e. tells me where to go in UK. It can also tell you when speed cameras are coming up through a beeping noise. You can chosse your preferred method of display - I used a 2D map and what I liked was that before a direction change came up, a small icon with the info would appear at the top of the screen then the display would change to just a larger version of the icon showing the junction or roundabout. What I do like is that (unlike Tom Tom) it shows the other exits off the roundabout in a lighter colour, rather than just the one you have to take - I found that helped me.

    The voice is quite stern! No messing with Ms Whiplash! :eek: She does tell you useful things like 'Continue along this road for 5km', so that you know what is coming up.

    I looked at the 210 on the PC World website and the only difference (that I can see and no doubt someone will correct me if I am wrong) is the display, where the icons are shown at the bottom of the screen rather than the top.

    Just grabbed one from Staples corner cheers for that :D :j
  • Also available from Tesco Extra @ Burseldon (Southampton).

    They are not displayed alongside the usual Sat Navs - you have to go to the electrical desk (on the 1st floor) where it is on display behind the counter - it is the GoPal 205 model for £59.xx. Hope this helps someone.
