Cheers for that, Shez. One thing to remember is that the Nuvi in the comparison is a 350, not a 300, and so has that extra 'text to speech' instruction feature.

| No, there doesn't sound like there's much difference. I primarily went for the Nuvi because of the size of the screen and it being touch-sensitive, together with the positive reviews about its perfor ... |

Hi Doug, I'll try to answer your questions but as I've only had the Nuvi for a week I might not be 100% sure!
1. You can view the map and drag it around with your finger (like you do with Google ma ... |

Yes, the speed it finds them is incredible, plus it's a tenacious little devil  and holds on to them too.
I find myself wanting to drive all over the place, now. I'll try to distract myse ... |

Well, it arrived (I still managed to fit in some anxious pacing) and I immediately went out to the car to get myself lost  All I can say is that I'm incredibly pleased - the unit itself is tiny ... |

Sorry for the thread-flooding, but there doesn't seem a way to edit posts.
Seconds after hitting 'submit' on my last comment I realised I would go mad waiting, so I rang them back and upgraded to p ... |

Just ordered one from the nice people at globalpositioningsystems.co.uk - they not only matched the GSD Navigation price, they actually lowered the price on the website.
Now I just have to pace a ... |

I should have pointed out that I haven't actually used my 4150 for GPS, so you might find the speaker is fine in your Golf. I just drive a particularly noisy car!
I can't really recommend another P ... |

| I've had a 4150 since just after they came out. It's a great PDA, very compact and the dual wireless is convenient. Perhaps a little under-powered compared to the latest models, but I guess it depend ... |

| Sorry Matt, me again! Was just wondering how easy it is to add POI to the Nuvi. Say, if I visit someone and decide I want to store their location, is it reasonably simple to store it and name ... |

| Thanks for the feedback, Matt. I'm 99.9% certain I'll be buying the 300 - I don't drive through mainland Europe enough to make the extra expense for the 350 worthwhile. As for text-to-speech, one of ... |

Great timing, Superten! I've been looking around for Nuvi 300 reviews, but there doesn't seem to be much online yet.
How does it compare to Tom Tom in your opinion?
