Been looking at the basic TomTom ONE GB. About £100 cheaper than yours -
dunno ... whaddya reckon ?

It will have the same s/w and maps so navigation will be similar. It has
the SIRF lll chip, which is well respected. Slightly smaller screen, can't
remember if it takes the TMC traffic module though.

It's a well thought of bit of kit, I would think you would be pleased with
it.

Thanks Jeff - only a matter of time before I buy one :-) Can't justify it
though :-(

Samantha has to leave us now as she's off out for a lovely meal with a new
chef friend who's laying on a traditional shellfish evening. She says she's
really looking forward to enjoying his special cockle night.
