    Anyone got one ?
    Can you recommend one ?

    Basically I need it for the missus . She gets lost within the pale all the time so there is no chance of me getting rid of her and the kids down the country for a few days or anything like that . Ive heard garmin is better in Ireland than Tom Tom which if true would push me in that direction . But we are going on a holiday in France very soon and plan to use it there now and in the future so knowledge of the level of mapping in europe would also come into it .
    Costs of updating the maps also would be helpfully .

    Bluetooth and mp3 stuff would be good but are not a priority .

    Thanks in advance

    Phil

    Looking at buying a Garmin Nuvi 265W

    Can get it for about €155 on Amazon. Has anybody got one?

    If so, would you recommend it? … How is the sound on it, especially using your phone via the bluetooth connection?

    Any feedback, greatly appreciated ….
