Thanks boatman but he wants bluetooth and I dont think 250 has it does it?

What do you think of 310 if we upgraded it with the version 9 maps?

Nothing wrong with 310, i've got one! Why not go the whole hog and get the Nuvi 610 from here!!
This comes with the traffic add-on which sells for £50-60.

I got one but it took me off the A1M way too early and dragged me off down all kinds of weird country lanes and silly routes :rolleyes: I did get there in the end though so maybe it just needs tweaking a bit...

Thanks - seems like a good idea to give it a miss as no-one here has anything good to say about it

Sorry being really dim now. What is the traffic add-on? Also how come you have a 310 and a 610?
The 310 is £159.99 from Amazon and via the Garmin site link has preloaded Good Pub Guide.

It will alert you of traffic delays ahead i.e. on you planned route and then your sat nav can re-route you around the traffic congestion. Some of the traffic add ons charge a subscription for this service, as far as I know Navman don't as I have considered buying one.

As Jeff121 said. Couple of points, The garmin traffic receivers come with a lifetime subscription in the UK. Cost about £50-60 pounds. If your car has an 'Athermic' windscreen don't get a traffic receiver as it might not work, explaination here.
