I use my tom tom go70, 8 years old, a years updates £22, the biggest problem is the weight, it is nearly as heavy as the famillia

[quote="Poptop320"|p11593]I have a Tom Tom like the first one and is great and very easy to use and it tells you which lane to get into when on a motorway, the only problem I find with satnav systems is when your dragging the Eriba, it will try and take you down some narrow lanes. I would be tempted to go for a dedicated caravan one next time but they are expensive.

We have a Garmin and find if you set it to the "quickest" not "shortest' mode, it stops taking you down the small lanes. Ours does Europe and America/Canada and loved it when we were in Canada and it said "after 430 miles, turn left"!!! would never see that here.

Yes Chris, we had never bought one until I saw a stand at the NEC couple of years back and the Ventura Snooper had a car+caravan system built in so we paid the extra cash for it. Been well worth it and now getting morereliant on it.

I bought a similar tomtom to the first picture a couple of years ago with free lifetime updates
To claim the updates I had to send a photo of the till receipt to them to prove I was the original purchaser............so don't throw it away on the way out of the shop.

Updates are indeed free but be aware that they are downloaded direct to the unit so it needs to be plugged into a pc that is online

Also you need a good connection as the download file is several Gbt in size (about 4 Gbt if I recall right) so will take a long time to update
Speed camera position updates are not included in the free updates and are sold separately

Maps are very accurate in the UK .............. I can't comment about the rest of Europe.

Very reliable PopTop, worth the extra in our opinion
