Map not up to date and no leads provided to connect o a PC to update I went to a town outside London and it told me i was approaching a roundabout, when in fact i was at trafficlights. The sat nav instructed me to turn left but there was no option i had to drive 2 miles out of my way to get back on the right road. Also some of the postcode are incorrect. GU4 8SE is a postcode for the manor house hotel. However when using the sat nav the unit took me down a dead end road 5 milesfrom my destination. When i re entered the postcode it said i was 100yd fro my destination. A friend who was following me entered the postcode into his tom tom and we got there first time using his sat nav

The claim that the unit does a full postcode search is a lie. Every time I have used only the postcode as the address to navigate to, the unit has taken me to a location over 2 miles from my actual destination. It clearly only searches on the first few characters of the postcode.

The screen is easy to see very bright and easy to follow.

It has not performed very well recently i have made two trips at night and have lost the signal on more than one occasion whilst being done dark country lanes. As a female this is not a good thing and as i cannot map read assumed this would be the best option. However i have no confidence in the product and am thinking of returning it as i do not feel it is working as it should. It also seems to lag behind it gives me instructions when i am about half a mile ahead.It also told me to turn right whilst on a dual carriageway.
