Was just about to pull the trigger on a TomTom Go 6000 after my GO of many years seems to have died, but reading the reviews on Amazon has put me off, I don't know anything about the other makes, so just wondering what people think....

Wanted full postcode entry, and street number entry.
Traffic
Good european maps
Free updates
Good sized screen
Adding my own POI's

Any recommendations? I need to buy pretty quickly!

Just to update this, bought the tom tom 5000. Very pleased with it, minor annoyance that it takes a minute to load itself up on switchon. Traffic also doesn't seem to do anything, certainly don't think I've been re routed to avoid any, it does however kindly inform me that I'm sitting in traffic, which strangely I know already...

Other then that, very happy with it, certainly an upgrade on the previous one. Pleased I listened to the advice above and bought the 5 inch model, I was buying blind and 6 inches would have been way too big
