Firstly, the story!
I've used TomTom for probably 12 years or more on many devices, ranging from a PDA right down to TomTom units.
TomTom is probably hard wired to my brain, pathetic I know but there it is!
My trusty TomTom Start 25 died a couple of weeks back and I bought a new unit, this time a Start 50.
If you look at my thread on this device you will see why I returned it and replaced it with this Garmin.

There is nothing wrong with this Garmin, it does everything perfectly. It acquires satellite fix very quickly, has lots of inbuilt poi's and routes as well as any TomTom I've had, you may notice I had a problem the other day but that was entirely my fault.
I changed the settings to "shortest" route and it went nuts, but every device would do the same under those circumstances. I changed it back to "fastest" and it was perfect.
Most importantly it is fully customisable with custom poi's, the Garmin software is excellent, knocks TomToms into a cocked hat.
I've tested it with camperContact, Archies and Caravan Club poi's and it works !
Why am I selling it? Simply because I'm an old f@rt and I can't get used to it because it's not a TomTom, that's it! As I said TomTom is hard wired to me!
It's boxed and complete, only bought on the 27th December last. I've returned it to factory settings and deregistered it from Garmins website.
It cost £99.99 and I'm offering it here first for £65 inc pp. Bank transfer please or of course cash on collection for £60.
