You could enter your drive as a known accident blackspot, watch out there will be a camera there soon !

A vote for the TomTom from me.

For TOM TOm read iPOD ..... same herding thing - however, in the case of the iPOD the sheep have got it right.

Not so sure about Sat Nav though? ....... look at the Navman iCN330 for £89!!

I've got Tom Tom Mobile on my Nokia N70 and it works a treat. The only annoyance is the occasional bluetooth drop-out between the handset and the GPS receiver but you have to be bloody unlucky for that to happen at a critical point.

With that in mind I'd pick TomTom if money/cost wasn't one of the criteria for selection.
