Thank you very much for your reply.
I also like Tom Tom One but it did not last.Just one week. In fact I only used it for couple of hours.Shame for such a good product and software.
But for now I am going to wait and see for a while.
Greetings.

I have a 350 which is the 300 with TTS and European maps. I was drawn to it by this review http://www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk/garmin-nuvi-300-in-depth.html
and would agree with everything written.

It is a stunning piece of kit, neat, sharp and stylish, which does the job of getting you from A to B efficiently and with no fuss. It is a joy to use and set up. Full post code search is a killer feature, it automatically changes from daylight to night time mode, you can use it to find your route, or just set to map mode to show you where you are going... I could go on.

Just for comparison I had a Palm Tunsten T2 running ViaMichelin Navigation for 18 months and, whilst I was perfectly happy with it whilst using is, there is no comparison betwween the two. The Garmin Nuvi is years ahead.

Purchase one, I don't think that you will regret it.

I have used TOM TOM but have the Nuvi300.

The Nuvi is a much sleeker unit to look at - although I think the software is not as powerful as TOM TOM, or should I say have as many features it is the better unit for me, because unlike TOM TOM this unit works out that know a quicker route and keeps recalculating till it finds yours, unlike TOM TOM which thinks it knows best!

The example of this was I was taking the M11 to Northampton from Kent, but TOM-TOM wanted me to take the M25, and would not stop trying to take me on the M25 all journy! Where as the Nuvi wanted me on the M25 will I was on the M11, it tried once to take me back onto the M25 then gave up and plotted my route from the M11 home.

Also it is more descreet with its noises etc. Nuvi gets my vote!
