Which to buy

johnfás

I'm looking to buy a Sat Nav - I'll buy it in the UK because the exchange rate is good at the moment. I'd like it to be adequately functional in Ireland, the UK and also Western Europe (Germany, France, Spain and Italy). I have found two on Dixons - could anyone tell me if the only difference between these is the fact that one has traffic updates? Also if that is the case would anyone know if these traffic updates only function in the UK - therefore making paying the extra rather pointless. Or could anyone else suggest another Sat Nav which would fulfill what I need for around the same price?

Thanks very much!
Here are the two models:

The 'free' traffic updates it refers to are broadcast over FM in the UK and many satnav owners on www.pocketgpsworld.com do not rate the quality. I don't know if Ireland has a similar broadcast.

If I were you I would go for the cheaper one.

There are no such traffic broadcasts in Ireland and nobody has plans to do it so for Ireland (32 counties) you needn't bother buying a bundle which include the traffic stuff.
