Recommended - New unit has many traveller features, such as a currency converter, calculator plus world clock. It's easy to use, its fiddly due to the small screen. Yet the display itself is clear, we liked the junction close-up zooms and POIs were unbeatable. Speed trap info was spot-on and directional, with updates good value at £29.99 a year.
