I got myself one of these and have used it in quite a few instances, walking, cycling and on the Pot noodle challenge. Yep the mapping is expensive but really good. Am still getting used to the features but so far its been great. The SATMAP site now has a planning and route sharing facility which make planning routes a lot easier, i find downloading routes very easy and straight forward from different sources on the net. Some of the features are very useful and quite easy to use. Fully recommend the system if you can put up with the cost of the mapping. Reference the batts the rechargeable pack that you get in the power pack is very good with a good life on it, however always carry spare batts with me and the batt holder. Thumbs Up

Can you read the screen when driving(or is it too small), I was thinking of attaching mine to the dash in the defender to give SWMBO less chance of getting us lost. Not that she needs a GPS or Sat Nav(so she tells me) and it will also multi task for walking, biking etc.

Good if I ever get lost and end up Taliban territory. They must be good if the militery use them, I thought they would use Garmin GPS, as they were developed for the military. I am happy with maps for uk and europe.

Use in the car is ok and you can see the screen not to bad. I used it on the Pot noodle challenge and with the route uploaded into it, it was good. It alarms on the waypoints however i find its not very loud or i'm a little deaf. I have invested in the bike mount as well and it was great when out in the week going along some cycle routes that i downloaded. The only pain in the Censored is when using the Map packs on it they centre themselves on the area covered. I have the whole of UK on 2 cards when using the north map it will centre itself in glasgow in the planning mode, you then have to shift it down to where you are.
