I have a Dell Axim thingy with tomtom 2, works quite well, seems to have anasty habit of losing the satellite signals sometimes though, especially in London/whenever I need it most!

The speed camera add-on I stuck on it is ok ish, but a bit over cautious(?) Has a big speed camera sign coming up for every bridge on the M25 varible limit and some other places I know there aren't cameras (like on the M1 round Northampton!)

Seen as you can always blag it through work it is good though
