Hi

No memory card expansion slot so the units loaded with European mapping are problematic due to having to install "zoned" maps which is far from ideal if you plan on making a long mainland European based trip.
Built in USB interface is only USB-1 so data transfers to/ from the device can take a considerable ammount of time.

Once updated to the latest Navcore the device isn't too bad but bear in mind the above and its got no Bluetooth capability unlike your 510 - Mike

Thanks Mike

Went Halfords yesterday to have a look and it does not have itinery planning either so I will probabrly wait till new year and see if there are any sales and get another model

Why not consider a 530 refurb, you can't really tell the difference between these and a brandnew unit but the cost saving is considerable see Here - Mike

I have decided that the GO 750 is the one I want and they have them on that link so will get one of those
