Is there anyone out there who can help with whether this ia a good buy or not? I

am really tempted as I have been thinking about getting sat nav for ages. I previously had medion sat nav but it was on a pda rather than a stand alone sat nav and I thought it was pretty good - the only thing it didnt do was postcodes - but this model says it has 7 digit postcodes.

The lifetime traffic information sounds really good as well - but is it any good?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The lifetime traffic information seems to be a genuine bargin,my advise if you've got the spare cash buy this unit,you will not be disappointed and if you are i've already left the country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem with postcodes. Any advice would be appreciated. But this is a really good unit. The mapping's good, the TMC is excellent.
Incidentally, there's a lot of rubbish on this thread about TMC. You DON'T have to tune it to anything; it just looks for the radio signal. In the nav settings you can ask it to automatically re-route you or let you know, and allow you to do it manually (which I think rather makes the sat nav redundant!). It's got me through a few jams.
