Glad to know there are a lot of techies here.... I myself don't know much about these gadgets (as you probably can tell). I just go by the things I see in commercials and advertisements. Thanks a lot guys. Going back to satnavs, I've come across one that is Belgian (well, Belgian company anyway --- equipment might still be made in China or anywhere in the Far East.) I can't remember the actual brand name but it starts with "M". Apparently, it is quite good. Any comments on this brand of sat nav?
