searching for GPS

I bought (and later returned) a Navman 630 v2 portable GPS navigation system, which was supposed to recognise up to 5 digit postcodes. All six postcodes I entered could not be found, and Navman said there were just a few postcodes not yet in, yet I couldn't find even one - that may be because I live in the North of England.

The Navman was useless - it was supposed to be able to redirect you, but it couldn't even direct in the first place. It wasn't just me, as I got other people to try it out.

Anyone know a portable GPS that really works, without trying to get you to turn right when there isn't a right turn? And that recognises most postcodes? (And that doesn't cost more than �800).

any help would be appreciated.

thanx

I use Tomtom navigator on the Ipaq and it's spot on all of the time. Tomtom have just released an all in one unit called TomtomGo. If it uses the same software as their Ipaq version then I recommend it. Alternatively, just get a Pocket PC with Tomtom (�300 if you shop around). You will then have the added bonus of a calender, internet, contacts book, spreadsheet, word, media player etc etc etc.
