UK/Europe use - Garmin or Tom Tom?

[Seanscot]

I have been researching the forums for a couple of weeks now and am still as confused as ever. I would like to buy a sat nav for use in the car both here in the UK and occasionally in Italy (in the more remote areas of Tuscany (eg Garfagnana).

I am considering either Tom Tom One XL V2 Europe or either the Garmin 255W or 265W or 760T. My major concern is the accuracy/detail of the maps - especially in the more remote areas of the UK and Italy.

Can anyone offer any opinions either on the choice of sat nav or more especially on the map content?

Thanks

I've just got a Garmin 265WT.

The map detail is very good for all places that I have looked at in France, in the villages that I know well.

The display is excellent and it has TMC traffic.

I bought at Halfords using their reserve and collect. £179 and you get a £20 Halfords voucher. As I needed something else at Halfords this worked for me, so effectively £159 for the 265WT.
