Must admit I have been thinking of buying a proper Tom Tom while they are on so many Easter offers from Halfords etc.
I want a bigger widescreen version so I can see it properly without my glasses when driving though.
5" sounds ok, while 7" seems a bit big?

Well I quite like my 47.0" telly style.................but I think it might block the windscreen a tad? pmsl

I bought a XL2 IQ Edition GB & RoE about a year ago really easy to use the only problem came last week when I tried to upgrade to European maps and found it couldn't be done because it only has a 1 GB memory, and needed over 2GB, so had to buy a new one.

Ive got to say i have noticed it does zap the battery quickly, never noticed if it didnt have a sd card. Just assumed it did! Will take a look at it.
