General Comments

I have found this pretty handy. Obviously it takes a little getting use to, and it's funny when it tries to keep you on the main road, when I wanna cut through back streets, but at least as soon as I turn off where it doesn't want me to, it will recalculate the route, and give you a new route to the same desination. So far I haven't had any problems with it, using the address can be tricky, unless you know the postcode, or some street names, or beachs, but so far, I've had fun playing around on it, and finding the functions useful. I know some people on this site has given it bad reviews, but to be honest, they may have had the fault product, cos mine is refurbished, but is working find. I haven't yet tried it on my computer yet, I'm got vista and xp, but I can't be arse to use in on my computer. Shame it doesn't have traffic reports, or speed camera detection, but for 70 quid, I'm not really complaining.
Overall, I like it, I'm going to keep it, and use it on my road trips around the country.
