I treated myself to a Tom Tom 700 for Christmas. I travel a lot on my own, some of it in France and trying to drive with an atlas in one hand isn't ideal. after a great deal of research I chose the 700. Ok I haven't learnt all the bits on it yet, but it gets me to my destination.
If you know the postcode, it will get you there, and you have the choice of shortest or fastest route. Addresses can be input fairly easily and you still get there.
The intructions are given clearly, but I find the 3D display very helpful, especially on roundabouts, just to confirm you're taking the correct turning.
If, by chance, you make a mistake, it will soon calculate a new route.
When you get to a town you don't know it will find the city centre, or the nearest carpark, or garage and so on.
The only downside I've found so far, when driving to Derby I was told to exit the motorway, which I did, it then lost itself for a few minutes as the road was brand new and had only just been opened so wasn't yet on the Tom Tom's map. This can be overcome by downloads from their website.
Very easy to use and so for I've got to my destination
