newbie TT3 question - map detail

I'm thinking of getting TT3 but because they don't offer a trial version I'm not sure. At the moment I find the website MultiMap offers the most detailed maps. Just wondering how TT3 compares. Can anybody with the European maps tell me how it compares with for example:

Sopelana in Northern Spain
Lat: 43:22:51N, Lon: 2:58:57W

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=43.3808&lon=-2.9824&scale=5000&icon=x

Are there any plans to cover Ireland?

As you can see MultiMap uses TeleAtlas map data. So TomTom should show roughly the same level of detail.

Good point, just thought the PDA versions might be slightly abridged to take up less room. I just checked MapQuest website against Mapopolis (both use NavTeq) and they have the same streets. I suppose it's one way of finding out map coverage if you can't get a demo.

Just got a reply from TomTom support who sent me two screenshots. Just in case anybody else is interested it seems to have more minor streets that MultiMap.

There is a TeleAtlas service available as well - this one should have the very latest information (without guarantee that this makes it into any product soon)
