I didn't think they were steam-powered, either.....

I like mine muchly, although I must update the maps......

 

[warmshed]

Try to get it with lifetime updates or budget around £55 for it afterwards.

Not used mine much but when the "auto zoom" is enabled when it zooms there seems to be a 2 to 3 second lag (screen redraws) before its usable again??
Disabling zoom seems to work but?? hey ho.

Apart from that great bit of kit!

I really like mine.

My only criticism is that the screen can be very/almost impossible to read in bright sunlight. I've tried all sorts of sun visors with limited success, so a good audio connection is essential.

Great satnav, but the software (Basecamp) is a steep learning curve and downloading maps (to satnav, computer or both) can be irritating.

All that said, worth persevering with, but do be prepared for it not being an "out-of-the-box" solution.
