Thanks very much, all I have to do now is convince myself to buy it. Thanks again. Terry
I've recently had the new iPad (with retina display) and find it very good. The IOS6 operating system is good, the wi-fi speed is much faster than my laptop, SIRI voice recognition is amazing with what it will do on voice command, battery life is more than adequate for the whole day, the screen resolution is excellent which makes viewing video and photographs a joy and there is a huge range of apps to play with. I also sync it with my phone so everything stays up to date (e.g. e-mails, calendar etc)
All in - although expensive, I personally think it's worth it.:thumb:

Hi does your system require a network connection ieata usage (as I am not familiar with ipad) if so when abroad I imagine this may become expensive?? I use a netbook with a GPS pick-up loaded with MapPoint and auto-route works well but a bit bulkier than ipad but of course is also my pc for skype etc and net wi-fi and mi-fi ,just pondering

Ah cheers that I think answers the question Yes you need a service provider ? I also use my phone for mapping in the uk faster than my sat-nav and more detail,but even when low signal coverage but when in France /Spain poor or no detail .GPS dongle £14.99 -New sat-nav £100+ no contest
You don't have to have a service provider either in the UK or abroad - you could just use local free wi-fi hotspots such as McDonalds etc. Plenty of posts on FUN in the past about that so a search should come up with more info.

Hi martin1485, if you have the version with 3/4g it has the Gps chip built in and the TomTom software and pois loads on install so it does not need a data or wifi connection.
The only thing you may want data for is the Trafic Live or to use google.
It provides brilliant split screen for junction view, has clever search functions like go to photo or contacts and I've had free mapping updates from them for the last 3years. It will also load FREE on up to 5 of your other apple iphones etc.
Flaws - the software uses loads of power so keep plugged in while navigating
Don't bother to buy it if you have the wifi only version ipad (no gps chip)
Only went to it as it had more complete mapping on areas like Croatia et. Out of the 5 other Gps systems we use this is the most complete so gets the most use.
