I bought one of these from them a few months ago - wasn't in a bundle like this and cost me about £320 altogether, but it does have v8 of the mapping.

Its fine - isn't 3D like the new ones, but has loats of options for route/vehicle types etc and works fine on the TDM. Whilst you can use it with gloved fingers, it can get a bit confused so I am going to make up a pointer out of an old bic top (the pen, not the razor) to use like a palmtop pointer thingywhatnot (I believe that is the correct technical term)

Bugger. Should have waited and saved a few notes!

Yes, and I got the gag. Not quite as bad as Cupasoops B&Q one, which I must say I have e-mailed to several people this evening!

as i keep bleeting on if you want to save yourself some money:

search ebay for : "motorola A920 or A1000" (any OS phone bout 50)
then when u have one goto

http://www.torrentspy.com and search for tomtom (free)

now go back to ebay and search for "bluetooth GPRS reciever" (bout 30)

Now you have the tomtom software on your mobile phone that can also play mp3s, videos, surf the net and all for under £100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
