    But you'll be getting a next generation one in a couple of years

    with new maps pre-loaded

    while possible, the chance of getting unmapped roads is small

    You seem too thick to use a search engine. Your abusive language reflects
    your lack of intelligence unfortunately. I do wish your parents would put
    your
    computer where they could supervise your use of it.

    They used customers/public to build up a database for free, now have the
    cheek to charge for it. Try a torrent site instead, everything is for free.

    It isn't. The mews I live in - despite being the same place for a good
    25 years - only appeared by name on Garmin maps a couple of years ago.

    Also, new roads are being built, one way systems change etc...

    It's Medion, so it's bound to (a) be shite and (b) last about as long as
    a chocolate watch in high summer.

    I've been tempted by various Medion bits over the years, particularly
    when I worked in Krautland. Every single one blew up in some way, it was
    a toos up which was more spectacular, the USB scanner or the Laptop.

    Laptop probably that had sparks and burning smells.

    The cheap Garmin I bought for my wife to use is good enough, has a few
    niggles but the support is excellent and it's compatible with my much
    older handheld Garmin GPS.

    Oh watch out or don't take on trust "most of Western Europe", many cheap
    satnavs don't have street level maps for "most of Europe" just maps of
    trunk roads and motorways. Check before you buy.

    And you're just a useless ****. We all wish you'd just **** off and lose
    your computer.

    Right. Much hunting later and I've found out the following:

    1) Garmin class roads by speed limit, which means that they often think an
    unclassified road is just as speedy as an A or B road. Not good for me as I
    often end up needing to travel to places in the middle of nowhere in the
    dark.

    2) Tomtom one or whatever replaces it is what I'll be getting. And then
    when I want new maps, I'll flog it and buy a new sat nav, as it seems map
    updates cost so much cash there's no sense bothering with them.

    3) Handsfree stuff on sat navs apparently doesn't work well.

    Hands free on my new Navman S50 works pretty well, all the new satnavs have
    4.3" widescreens and most are much of a muchness, you can get the S50 for
    109 quid, but you can't go wrong with tomtoms tbh :)

    I've already got a Nokia Cark in the car and a BT headset for my own phone,
    so I can't see much point in paying for a handsfree that may or may not be
    shite.

    Tell you what, how about I give you a bunch of data to organise, format,
    test and update, and you do all that for me, for nothing. Can't say
    fairer than that.

    Alternatively, if you weren't a leech and contributed something to the
    project in the first place, then you'd still have the updates for free.
