Problem I find with SAT NAV systems is that you become too reliant on them, I used one in my dad`s car and yes it did work quite well but as soon as I got back into my car I was constantly looking at my blank dashboard for directions and was listening for the voices :)

Does the BP map show me where Acacia Drive is in Chuffing Sodbury?

What features is the Garmin Streetpilot i3 lacking compared to the TomTom?. I had got the impression that the maps etc that Garmin use are at lest as good as the Tom Tom ones.

The TomTom has touch screen and auto volume (speed related) - both absent on the i3.

BUT it is almost twice the price!!

Personally I got the Garmin i3 - arrived today and I`m impressed. I just want to find a reasonably priced source for adding Europe - anyone got any ideas?
