Whats the difference between these 2 Satnavs?

Does anyone know the difference between these 2 SanNavs before I purchase, the one marked (Assist) is about 10% cheaper than the other one, but I dont know what Assist means in this context, and I cant see it explained in the blurb.

If the one with Assist has everything the other one has, then as the cheaper model it would make sense to go for that one... just a bit unsure...

Any ideas?
TIA

I you haven't bought already, Garmin is a better product that TomTom. I have seen a TomTom in action and wasn't terribly impressed. I have a Garmin. It's pretty good.

Thks for the advice.

What model Garmin would you recommend around the same price (130 euro? delivered) - and what specifically would you recommend about that model over the TomTomV4 Western Europe.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 200. It's the entry level model, but it works just fine. Got it on sale at Halfords about 6 months ago for €130.

I don't like how the TomTom actually navigates. It seems to go all over the shop sometimes. I was driving from Galway to Westport one day and the Garmin brought me one route, which was fine. A friend of mine was also going from Westport but his TomTom brought him on a fairly circuitous route. I've seen TomToms do stuff like that a number of times. I just don't like TomToms, for that reason.
