My one wasn't that great in the UK. I certainly wouldn't rely on it in Europe. If you want reliability, accuracy, points of interest, lane guidance and speed cameras, go and buy a TomTom with lifetime European maps for about £70 in Halfords!

It does annoy me that a genuine update disk for the LR Unit is £170 yet my Garmin Nuvi I bought two years ago for less than £100 comes with lifetime map updates....

In olden days before sat navs we used to buy map books which in my case I only updated it when it was falling to bits. There's no way I'm paying £170 just for the odd new road. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

Thanks. I have a snooper anyway, I just thought I could leave it in the caravan if we go any were. Beats lugging it round or leaving in the car

2014 I was travelling in Italy & Germany mostly for 4 months (not the first time either). Bought 2 paper maps, the rest we got from tourist information, but the 2 main ones were really enough. No GPS, no mobile, no computer. I love the technology of a paper maps and a pencil (or pen).

United Kingdom 2010 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

I used to drive all over for a living. I then used my TomTom daily which I kept up to date. Had full Western Europe maps too.

Now retired, I keep the TomTom in the glove box (just in case) and use the built in LR sat nav. Most recently for a caravan holiday in Scotland. The LR sat nav has it's quirks but I have got used to it. I have an up to date (2015) UK/France/Spain etc disc which I bought through Facebook and the other discs which cover Scandinavia and Germany etc are dated 2010. The TomTom is superior but the cost of all the updates is prohibitive. They keep emailing me with discount offers!
