Now we are getting somewhere Very Happy

Tbh its not for finding a house on a street its just to get me to the area, and would only get used about once a month Smile

When i went to Helens to pick up the club ramps the AA route I got of the net tried to send me through a bus station,
two options
(A) drive through the bus station
(B) turn around and get totally lost
Naturally i chose option A Shocked

Also with written directions if you take one wrong turn its game over Sad

So imo all i need is cheap and cheerfull Smile

TomTom cus it's free if you've a windows mobile phone Wink

ALDI are doing one for a ton - and it's nice, actually really nice, has european maps, and works well - my parents have just picked on up (could of weeks ago) and have had no issues with it.

If not - try www.ebuyer.com - I think that they've got them for under a ton, can't remember.

tom tom ones are hundred quid or less and are far better than the garmin i used to use which got confused in built up areas, under trees, and random occasions when it got bored and sent you anywhere for its own personal amusement.

I got the tom tom after taking a recovery lorry with trailer on the back round trafalgar square at 1am. It was having a fit So it went! The tom tom has been perfect, never stepped a foot wrong - with the possible exception of when i had a caravan on the back, and was driving down lanes that were a little 'unsuitable' Very Happy
