you can download the maps to the tom tom one nice a cheap much cheaper than buying a 500 or 700.

I've used a few GPS systems, by far I'd recommend the TomTom. I used to have Version 5 running on my Treo 650, sold the phone now so I'm going to pick on of these up today.

For those that didn't know, you can reserve online at pcworld and then pickup and pay instore for the web price. Handy if you live near one.

I usually pop down there find something I want, then get my brother to reserve the web prices online over the phone A lot of the prices are just a few quid, but the more expensive items you can save a fair bit. My best saving so far was on a bluetooth 'laser' mouse, saved

I think I can buy one of those at CostCo for the same money.
Indeed. I was in Cost Co last night and they had them in.

Don't suppose you know/are able to say where said maps may be downloadable from do you?!
Thanks.

Hi all I've just reserved a Tom Tom one from PC World, picking it up this morning Have finally managed to get a refund from Blackspot for the 6 Road Angel compact replacements and the Road Angel plus free upgrade which I have had over the past year, none of which have worked for more than a few weeeks before throwing up a number of differing faults and errors.

Hope I have more luck with the TomTom
