[QUOTE="paul.p911, post: 392569, member: 248737"] I know this sounds like a straight forward question but ,infact it is not so easy to answere as some of you will be temted to say for instance," I have tom tom 1 and it works fine for me" But what i want is what really makes a good gps and why? What do you need from it and what apects are god, bad, and indifferent? I have run gps systems for years my 1st one costing about £1000.00. There are still grey areas within them. they are not perfect and don't compare to say good local knowledge.they get you buy but are not all what they are cracked up to be.I have a couple of gripes one of which is why oh why does it say bear left or bear right when infact you are staing on the same road and are not goint to turn from it but it will insist on giving you too much information. also it might have shortest or quickest routes but it doesn't have most sensible route.
