Tom Tom's are great Ian, i bought a different make last year, when i got it home i found it did'nt accept postcode search, so make sure when you buy one it does fella, makes things a lot easier on times,  i know the Tom Tom ones accept postcodes.

i had a satnav for my birthday ian..... ;)....i picked it, for my wife+daughter to buy for me...... ;D....i had a GARMIN because there is a "where am i" function on it that gives a GPS location...very handy for recording finds....it's portable,has it's own re-chargeable battery, so can be carried with you..... also takes a post code......it was in the sale at halfords.... ;D.....byron

My car at the moment has built in sat nav but if i ever have a car without one i always buy  a Garmin as I think they are the best but everyone is different that is just what i go for , I have tried a road angel, tomtom, navman but i always go back to Garmin
