Advantages: Ease of use and price Disadvantages: None
Having used a Tom Tom Go 700 for a number of years, I decided to update the maps of Western Europe. Tom Tom uses software called Tom Tom Home which is used to download the updatedmaps. Having connected Tom Tom Go 700 to my PC, via a USB cable, it was a simple matter of clicling on the relevant icon on the Home Software, paying for the maps, and downloading them over the internet.
Payment was straight forward. It is undertaken electronically either by credit or debit card, and the down load commenced.
Because of the size of the map file, it took a little time to download (I do have broadband running at 8mb band width, so I suppose a lesser bandwith will take longer.
Use of the system is simplicity itself. You are given a choice of country, and then you select address, or point of interest. ...
Advantages: Stress free travelling, comprehensive, clear instructions, cheap Disadvantages: Some very minor glitches in confusing bends with turns

We spent two weeks in the area ...

Channel five has little to offer in terms of competition with the other 4 main channels. Five updates along with the regular film slots could be a little more.
WHAT ARE THEY?
UPDATES are short broadcasts offering a quick review of the major news items from around the day. These might be addressed during the major news slots of the day (12.00 and 17.00) or week - some indication is given during the update. The broadcasts are often less than 5 minutes.
FORMAT
Often a toolbar appears at the base of the screen - these offer written text on a scroll bar giving some indication of the items being outlined above with statistics.
