Hi
I am going to be travelling to Spain next year, by Ferry from the UK to Santander and then I want to drive down to the south coast. Does any one have a recommendation of a GPS system I should purchase (Plug and go preferably). I will be staying in Spain for a period of time so I would like to be able to get any road updates over the Internet if possible and I understand that the mapping of Spain is not complete so as and when I find different places I want to return to I would like to be able to store that point as a favourite.
Any suggestions would be graefully received. |

I had a cusotmer on the phone not long ago who had problems when using there satnav in Spain as he was building a house and depended on satnav, i sold him a TomTom Go 700 and he emailed form Spain to advise it was great, a couple of things where not 100% up to date but he said when he was using it i think it was north or Mercia. Hope this helps you can check Navmans coverage which i think is
UK 95% SCOTLAND 90% WALES 90% S/N IRELAND 40%
SPAIN 80% PORTUGAL 70% FRANCE 95% ITALY 95% FINLAND 75% _________________ Regards

Being new to all this,
Do I gain anything extra in getting the TT GO 700 rather than any of the others in the range, I want to make sure that I can make full use of the product and not have extras that I will not need.
Thanks

The Go 700 has a built in hard drive and has the western European map installed, you also have the option of Bluetooth hands free calling etc (not all phones are compatible). It only has a SiRF II based GPS what car would you be using it in? _________________ Regards
