I've got a car one called Sonya (it's a Sony - get it?) She is great. Even tells me to be wary when cameras are about. Where she fails, and I suspect it will be the same with most of them, is with the constant changing in our city centres. She tries to send me in Bus lanes, into no entries and, particulary in Newcastle, she seems to like taking me over bridges! I think you would get this even with maps.

I also have a Magellan hand help for when out on the hills. They are bit brilliany for letting you know exactly where you are, how far you have to go and what direction that is in. None of them can ever guarantee that the bits in between will be bang up to date though!

Oh - one feature Sonya has that I played with last week is the ability to 'block out' part of your route if the traffic is snarled up. It could do this automaticaly if I bought the appropriate radio receiver but I can only cope with one technological change at a time...

Cheers
