They are free to use on most systems, those that also incoperate speed camera software or 'live updates' are normally yeraly subscriptions for the extra data you get.

Best one i have used is tom tom. The fav way to go is with a pda. you can use a xda 2 and then you have one less bit to carry about.

If you want the most flexible system get a xda 2 with tom tom software and a blue tooth gps reciever. Using a bluetooth reciever enables you to use extra mapping tools such as fugawi and memory map when your out and about walking.

There are copies of tom tom about if you look hard enough (p2p), if your not too concerned about new new roads then you may be able to pick up tom tom 2 cheap as 3 was released not long back.

Globalpositioningsystems.co.uk might look good but they dont give 2 hoots about the customer, they just want and take your money if the stuff is not in stock. (i used to work for them till they sacked me :-( )

If you need any further help then just email me, marklunn at ntlworld .
