Hi All well what next is not a Tom Tom or Garmin...... love the spec of the new garmin 3598 BUT all the digging review wise ive done sadly like my old one it still prefers odd routes tha include farm type lanes.
So the New TomTom 6000 ,well here so many bad reports of downloading issues etc and im no bill gates plus a lot of money for traffic.
So as a new owner of a samsung galaxy S3 its as big as sat nav so ill try the co pilot app Premium at £20 + free traffic for a year then £8 a year from inarix(spelling?) Had a play looks really good we will see what its like on the road ,gives you 3 route choices as well.
Another syrious? Too expensive ,no traffic and well time for a change.

Just thinking aloud heads up ,good luck all.

It's all very well that you might not want to buy a TomTom or a Garmin, but you should look to see where the mapping data is coming from. The tomtom units might be questionable, but the mapping data is second to none in my opinion.
