Advantages: Built in GPS, Lots of functions, not too big
Disadvantages: Fragile screen, bluetooth eats battery life.

I have used the device in the UK, Ireland and France and it has served me perfectly. I also undertstand that it has stored maps for most of Europe but I can only comment on my own experiences. By detaching the unit and plugging into a PC you can update the maps on a monthly basis just to be on the safe side. I am totally reassured when I'm out and about in my car. Not only do I get...
