I've decided to try satnav and, going by the comments on this forum, it seems that the TT XL is a sensible starter.

I went into a local high street motor factors - you'd never guess the name - and looked at the TT XL. It was obviously a 'bring-your 4-year-old to work' day and I asked one of the kids if the camera locations were updatable and he looked totally confused, read a bit of literature and then said that I would need the TMC. Questions of what, who and how much the TMC was were not satisfactorily answered.

So, as a satnav virgin unused to the jargon, can anyone tell me:

can the camera database be updated,
does it cost,
what's a TMC,
should I go for the European maps in the first instance or can I buy the maps later and, most importantly,
why I was stupid enough to expect a sensible answer from the sales representative.

Cheers, guys.

Thanks for that. I'm now off to have a long surf through the reviews.
