Also some of the roads were not on the system, and not just new ones either. But when we came home, we couldn't even find the road on WhereIs either.
I use it a lot for public viewings, going to schools I have never been to in my life, and coming home late at night in a strange area....best couple of hundred bucks I have ever spent!

Same unit as mine, Trevor, and overall I'm quite happy with it.
I've had the same experience as you with the unit getting a little 'confused' on a few occasions, but no major dramas.
One thing I don't like is not being able to zoom in and out on the screen and have the screen stay at that setting. It always automatically zooms out after about 10-15 seconds.
This wasn't the case with my old TomTom.
Also, I seem to get some changed settings and things going missing sometimes when I connect the unit to TomTom Home on the internet. It seems to do odd things after I've hooked up to the homesite to get the latest updates.
Apart from that, it is great value for money
