We have just bought one & plan to use next week when we are in Spain. However, I have to say that we have managed very well so far with the maps from the car rental companies & the very well sign posted roads in spain.

I intend to make a folder in the map section to put places of interest, such as good restaurants, cash machines, aqua park, golf courses, etc. It is then a good little item to offer your guests if you rent out the property to help them find activities and the like.

17 Dec 2007 6:35 PM AuntieEm Adosado I'm in Scarborough I've made 421 posts Send private message to AuntieEm	we used the TomTom in Spain recently too ... mostly no problems and a HUGE improvement on my navigation skills! We found in a few places that road changes had not been included and for some reason it seemed to think that half of Quesada was still a field and we were driving around it! But its ok cos you just head for a road it recognises and you are off again. What a sense of freedom knowing that wherever you wandered off to you could always get home. I would recommend the TomTom to all. _______________________ Spam post? If so please click here to report it

But I agree, I have the 700 soon to be upgraded to the 720 and worth its wait in gold! _______________________ Pooley & Santos -Builder/ Delelopers - Plant Hire - Swimming Pools - Bespoke Villas enquiries@pooley-santos.co.uk www.pooley-santos.co.uk Spam post?

I just thought I'd share this one with you. There I was, Saturday December 22nd, driving down to visit grandparents and grandkids just before Christmas. Very busy roads, lots of icy fog patches, traffic still bombing along at over the 70MPH limit. Came to the end of the M6 just before Birmingham where it has the M6 toll on the right hand lanes, M6 North on the middle two lanes and the M42 on the inside lanes. All of a sudden, traffic starts veering into the outside and inside lanes. One car in the middle lane doing about 30 MPH and veering across the lane markings on either side. I pulled into the inside lane for the M42 and went up the inside. There was a girl (well, about 25 ish) with a map spread out over the steering wheel reading it !!! Hope she got where she wanted to go. Merry Christmas, everybody....... Spam post? If so please click here to report it
