| Tony, I totally agree with your review. I'm still very pleased with mine, and have used it a lot. The only thing that does seem to be absent for UK users is the TMC feature as you eluded too. A little ... |

Thanks for the info mwayman. It's a real shame it doesnt appear to pick up anything, as that would be a nice feature that I've not had on any previous sat nav units
