I've got the TomTom 910. Comes with just about everything you could ever want. Full European & American maps too. Its easy to use. Only problem I have with it is that it does not like how hard the suspension in my car is. Works 100% fine in other peoples cars with normal suspension.

When you go over a bump in my car the suspension is quite hard combined with big wheels & low profile tyres so it jolts the sat nav and then it shouts random commands out to me.

What do u want it to do?

Planning on visiting Europe or further?
Handsfree?
Traffic Alerts? (These are pretty crap atm anyway)
Does size matter?
MP3 Player?

Just want something similar to my VW one... postcode searchy... gives detailed routes, cna re-calc... fairly up-top-date etc

If it cna play MP3s then all the better I guess!

Id go with a Garmin Nuvi, either the new Nuvi 200 (about £200) or the Nuvi 310D / 360 if you want Handsfree/Traffic/Europe (About £250)
