just wondering about TomTom - if I get the TomTom one regional (UK) can I upgrade it later with new europe maps?
Cheers

think its the memory size thats the problem.... only big enough for the UK maps.
You will have to insert another SD flash card.
Got rid of mine because mio c710 has all european maps plus live traffic which works from local radio stations and is free.
With tom tom you have to pay a £40 per year subscription for traffic updates plus wap charges to a bluetooth phone.
Hi Mark - the maps supplied with the Tomtom One are about 1 year OOD (it still has the old A1 (North) route on it). You can get maps of Europe and the
UK on larger SD Card. If you know where to look and are a bit swish with file transfers you can hack into the SD Card and install them yourself.
Personally I wouldn't bother and buy a SATNAV with it all built in. Tomtom touch screens (IMO) are the dogs danglies. I have a TomTom One (for
business) and it's very good.

Hi Mark.
I bought Tom Tom One Europe from Argos for the same price that everyone else was selling the GB one.
Mid January it was £199.
I can't say that I need European maps but I thought that they might come in handy. You never know.

Or even consider a PDA and with a bit of careful file manipulation like Hellfire said, you can have everything on it and have a PDA as well.
I've put full UK and Europe TomTom on my phone and it's great.
Pat...
Or get yourself a Nokia N73 on contract free and put TomTom on that - then you only need one device in the car

So you'd go for this one Steve?
