Brought this navigator (very overpriced) from my catalouge (£500) From the day i got it, it has given me nothing but grief. For my important journeys (Scotland-Birmingham and Birmingham-London) it has failed to work, keeps freezing and keeps telling me 'unknown error' then shutting down. It takes a while to start working (when it decides to work). I have called up Hp who were equally as useless telling me when it freezes to just reset it. I have also found that it claims to take you on the shortest route but have managed to find short cuts myself. Doesn't pick up alot of roads. The bottom line is it is a total waste of money, do not buy. It is so useless i i think now that i will be better off with an A-Z.

Surprised for £500!!!!!! I swear by my incar navigation system which came with my VW Passatt - how did I survive without it. Tom Tom Gos are supposed to be better (but my colleague complained that they did not register satellites too easily) Have a good w/end Elaina x
