Just buy a Pocket PC and scour eBay for TomTom3 for £30 including all the European maps. Don't forget a GPS dongle - expansys.com are doing one today for £90. So all told, you could be set up for about £250.

Dell are doing great deals on PDAs at the moment. Then you can take the PDA away from the van and do wi-fi internet surfing, watch some movies, use it as a phone with SkyPe... word processing, you name it...

Of course, you could just be soft and buy TomTomGo... Laughing

Hi trigrem,

I can't find the english bit either, however, there is a list of Aires coordinates you can download.. Go to the 'recherche une aire' prompt and at the bottom of this page is the lists mentioned, quite handy i would think..

Hi,
I bought a PDA with inbuilt GPS antenna, software and car kit for around 400 euros (270 pounds) It was from Mitag and the software was from Alturion

While I had it it was very useful especially on international journeys. With the major roads included it gets you most places but I found that here in Belgium It is a god send as road names are often difficult to find.
Unfortunately when my car was stolen the PDA was in it. So now it feels like my right hand has been cut off. I even miss the annoying voice.
So I am currently upgrading the software and when I get my van I will us my laptop with a cable antenna (about 90 pounds) to operate it.
If you have a PDA or a laptop the just buy the software and antenna.
The only really disappointing thing is the coverage of Ireland (they do say partial but only major towns are covered)

One really good thing is the confidence to go off route on a whim. I southern germany I sa the autoban completely choca block so I headed across country. I had a great drive over the mountains without a map in sight. But to do this the european maps (2 CD's) are a must.
