Tom Tom or other GPS

[Dexton]

I am thinking of getting a gps for my car. There are loads out there and everyone talks about Tom Toms, but there seem to be smaller screens. Any ideas? Up to about �500. Cheers

The TomTom satnav systems are pretty good - I've had three (the original TomTom software running on my Pocket PC, an original Go and now a 910).

The 910 is great if you want the extras it gives you - I travel in the US and Europe so having maps of everywhere is really useful.

The 710 is a better bet if you don't need the EU/US maps.

I would look at this website for loads more information:

I brought a TomTom 100 recently - about �250 or so from Argos (although I later heard Woolworth's was doing them for about �150 apparently) - and wouldn't be without it. Only just passed my driving test and the thought of a 100 mile journey was terrifying me, but it was a breeze with it.

The screen is big enough to glance at when you're driving, although the vocals are clear and accurate enough that you don't need to.
