Which GPS to buy

Hi

I'm a GPS virgin! looking for a new GPS to help me in my job.

I'm a service engineer covering the North West of ENGLAND, I use AA Auto Route at present, but I have to plan my route before setting out in the morning.

I'm looking for a good system that will allow me to use the full address or postcodes to plan my route.

I've read a little about TMC, would this be essential or not to avoid traffic problems?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Yours

Malcolm Bennett

Hi Rgds

No budget restrictions & probably an all in one package, I don't use PDAs at present.
