Review: Make sure you get what you want. - Be very careful and check your purchase within return time as the unit we received was for USA only. It cost a further £80.00 to buy a Europe SD card. Then the sat nav worked correctly in UK! We have had Garmin equipment previously and as with this one we were very pleased with its operation. I don’t know who was at fault here but it left a bad taste!!! Check quickly on receipt!
Review: Worse satnav ever - Could not get it working .bought it months ago for holidays this year and tried it this weekend. Updates done can’t find a good single anywhere. My phone does a better job
