Given ViaMichelin no longer operate in this market I'd caution against them. They may seem cheap but with old maps, no updates and zero support I'd suggest spending a little more on a current brand/model.

Agreed - I have an X950T (almost from the day the were first launched) which I am very fond of (though my wife hates the female voice) But I appreciate that one day I am going to have to replace it.
Just a pity that VM have pulled out as it has some excellent features - especially the one that lets you plan a route on their web site and then down load it. |

Yes, it's always a shame when a brand pulls out of the market, doesn't serve anyone in the long term.

Just a quick note from their website the one they are selling is the old X960 not the X960 New Edition.
Not that it makes a great deal as I think its only a software update from v6 to v7, but not sure if its free to update.

... or even if you can get a genuine Version 7 update at all - I'm sure VM ran out of them months ago.
