You could also look in:

alt.satellite.gps

Where there is considerable discussion.

The only thing that puts me off TomTom Go is the touch screen. There
are also places where you can get the Software with a PDA for less
than TTG's current prices.

There is also a shop south of Heathrow (3M?) where you can see the
various systems.....

It's possible to make use of something suitable, such as a matchstick
and use it as a stylus. Not having seen the PDA versions, I do not
know how to set up a route but I would think a touch screen is about
as quick as any. If anything TTG could do with an anti-glare screen,
it's pretty OK most of the time but direct sunlight does give
problems, although for the most part the voice directions, I find, are
first class, very clear and in plenty of time and it is this facility
that is the main guide to driving the route. A time when it is
sometimes necessary to see the screen is checking the route through
and where to exit a large roundabout.
