Ive got the TomTom One, perfect for what i need, mines the older model though, whereas the newer model now tells you where speed camera's are, i need to update mine.
The sucker is wank on it though, unless you really force it onto the window, then its fine.

i have a tomtom go 300... only thing that doesnt impress me on it is that you cant put in a full post code.. you can put the first bit and then you have to know the road name.. which is a bit lame

my tomtom stay's on the window fine, just wet the sucker slightly, and push it on hard, and it's spot on
also, my TT One has full postcode search too etc etc

and you can choose loads of different voices...some are annoying though, especially if you have american people talking, translation might not be the best idea for somthing telling you where to go

Navman S50 is for you. Sticks on the window perfectly, and has all the speed camera warnings. Tells you if you are speeding too.
