Navman mio spirit 470 satellite navigation system - western eu. Does what it says on the box. Has information on cameras and displays speed limits and beeps once you exceed a limit. I found a little problem with omiting a certain road which i am not sure whether other satnav's provide the flexibility or not.
Like if i am travelling to london from south and for obvious reason like to omit m25, the device does not handle this. It though has options to avoid motorways (which again is not something which i want completely). Maybe this is not an option which one gets on a satnav for this cost.
Looks really good in the car unlike other tired looking models. Has not just got british maps, but 23 european countries, so is brilliant for going on european trips. I can't recommend this more highly.
