Hi -
Picked up a 700 tonight - not had a TTG before, so this is just a '1st impressions' post..
Went for the 700 because of the europe maps (particulary France where my dad lives, Belgium and Lux) and the big hdd, didnt need the bluetooth bit at all as I have a car kit.
very impressed so far. much quicker to use than i expected, having seen some fairly slow responses on a mates ipaq based one.. have only made one local trip - it was caught out slightly by a mini roundabout that went in last year that it didnt know about. Recalculation when you deviate from the intended route is very quick. The big sucker type thing for mounting it with is excellent, much better than i expected it to be.. 'night' mode works well too.
but its the mrs who is most impressed - we are likely to be moving soon to an area she doesnt know very well at all - and the thought of being able to stand in the kitchen and enter her destinations before leaving home went down really really well.. along with the 'Navigate to Home!' button to get her back from anywhere.. has already said she wants one for her car as soon as we move! To be fair - i think thats a good plan..
Next steps - download the speed camera database..
