Thanks Paul. I'm interested in the Garmin and curious about the usability of the satellite system, has anyone used either?

Yet in the description it states.   ''Free lifetime map updates and digital traffic solution''.    Maybe worth investigating further. I already have the Caravan Club 5" version so I wouldn't be buying anyway.

Hmmmm.... the description doesn't say whether it has European maps. It may be just UK, or have I missed something?

Thanks to Paul's tip off last year I bought a Garmin 760 at Aldi for £199. Excellent. Has full Europe, lifetime updates etc etc.

But haven't checked a comparision between this year's model and last year's. Worth doing as saving was over £100 last year.

AS it has 9000 ACSI sites included, it must have European maps as there aren't that many in UK?

This looks like the link for this SatNav.

I may have missed something but does this warn of speed cameras,? my Tomtom warns of all types of speed cameras, fixed mobile etc.

Not that I am a speed merchant, hugegrins but on roads that keep varying the speed at regular intervals it is handy. or the men in blue hiding behind hedges.

Me too, thanks Paul allthumbz

Didn't pre-order mine just made sure I was at the store when it opened. Had to ask for it as they weren't on display.

Excellent satnav, had all the ACSI site details and info pre-loaded. Had a few restricted height errors whilst in Germany, tried to send me under a couple of low railway bridges alongside the Rhine but I don't think there are any Satnavs you can totally rely on.
