consider buying on t'net. Ive found blokestsuff to be pretty good





A word of caution map coverage in Ireland is a bit flaky, it depends on the model you buy. some ofthe older maps %26amp; GPS models have very poor coverage in Ireland... I think Dublin is pretty well covered and as you go further out it gets to be major roads only. Thats defiantely a question worth asking... how goiod is the coverage of Ireland (check the mnap providers website and make sure the version of the map you see on their site matches the versiuon on your GPS.





If you are thinking of buying a GPS then I'd have a good look at the garmin Nuvi, they seem preety good. the cheaper 310/620 series Ithink cover UK %26amp; Ireland, the 360/660 cover continental Europe as well. Outside of that other well recognised models include Tom Tom. Ive seen a good price recently on a Michelin system... its probably a rebadged/repackaged Magellan unit





The radio traffic announcements is a pretty neat idea... I dont think its evolved sufficently yet, but its gettign better... I certainly dont htink its worht paying extra for.





still it begs the question, why buy a GPS when a road atals costs around 5..6 and can be chuked away at the end of the year and get a new one.... its also far less attractive to the sticky fingered (it sis a porblem, especially if you use a suction mount on the windscreen be sure to remove the mount when not in the car AND remove any mark it may have left.








A nice thing about the Garmin (and some of the other units [but not Tom Tom] is that they are protable and can be easily slipped into a pocket, or even used when on foot.





It looks like it you need tobe very ery carfeull when buying a GPS for Ireland. Navteq finsihed the encoding of Irish maps in March 2006, and it takes a while for these maps to come through on GPS devices.... the mySatNav site thinks that could be untill the start of 2007... so be very sure to ask your supplier which generation of pmaps they are providing. Incidentally NavTeq maps are used in Garmin, Magellean and Tom TOm, and generally seem to have the best reputation
