Is still a good buy ? As at £227 for a Europe wide sat nav with Garmins reputaion for quality sounds good against the other possibilties like TT One and the Mio _________________ TomTom 720

i3, bad ... to small and it had a fiddly scroll wheel
good, price and clear loud voice
nuvi, bad... silly antenna on the back of unit and the routing on the map was jumpy .
good.. nice docking system ,able to put waypoints on via mapsource
tomtom one v2...small,customisable,very smooth mapping,cheaper than nuvi ,very cheap downloadable maps .. _________________ *************************** |

Thank you Mr Zog...
That sort of cofirms my thoughts. I Like the TTS feature but don't see it as a show stopper if its not there. Tom Tom cetainly has a much bigger 3rd party following of useful little add ons. I think the higher range Garmin's look good but seem very expensive. All I want is a point to point sat nav to replace my PDA based Co Pilot 5, which I really like but never use the PDA for anything else.... _________________ TomTom 720

No I didn't as other events took over hence looking again. I must confess reading recent posts and the issues around the latest 3.2 software release with the Mio concern me. Mind you most manufacturers have those.
Thought I would have a quick refresh of whats out their and have got my PDA back up and working as a temp solution but having seperate chargers/BT/PDA software and all the, relative, fiddly bits that come with that is still a turn off so the dedicated solution is still my fav. "I used to be indesisive but now I'm not sure " springs to mind but I think the Mio is still favourite! Its just so neat and the Garmin gets very mixed feedback in this forum. _________________ TomTom 720
