Yeah I just got one of these. The new V3.
It has internal memory rather than an SD card. Seems to load routes much quicker. It is very slim and compared to my Origin B2, the GPS fix is incredibly fast. When you update it online it downloads fix data for the satellites so it knows where they will be. It even seems to work indoors.
Can't fault it really.

Got a sony nav u51, there are better versions for around the £200 mark, but i can't fault the little blighter, 6 hour battery life and a fast lock on thanks to a new sir star chip inside it.

I recently bought the TomTom One XL European Mapping and used it on a 3000 mile trip across Europe.

In one word. . .

BRILLIANT

The XL is better for having the wider screen.

Worth every penny and available for £199.60 if you look on HERE


The XL with just GB mapping is £165 ish
