European Dood to Door navigation

I am thinking of buying a Tom Tom Sat Nav. I was thinking of buyiong the TT 510, but does it do Door to Door navigation across Europe and also handle cross border?

For example, if travelling from my home in Hampshire to a location in The Netherlands, I need a unit that I can enter my home address and then enter my destination address in The Netherlands and I want it to seamlessly take me from the UK, through France, Belgium and into The Netherlands. Will the TT 510 do this or will I need the TT 710?

The 510 contains the UK map PLUS Major Roads Of Europe, its OK for navigation but will not necessarily take you to the door in a foreign country, as it only has major roads installed.
The 710, 910 or TT One V3 Europe all contain full street level mapping so these will do what you want.
There was a retailer only recently that was selling the 510 with a free Europe map SD card, so this could be an option to consider - Mike

You might prefer to wait until you are getting off the ferry (or chunnel) to set the destination address, simply because the device won't necessarily take you via your selected crossing (not really a problem though, it'll recalculate when you go off route anyway).
You won't be able to enter a Netherlands postcode for your destination until you are out of the UK (but you will be able to enter street and house number).
When you do get off the ferry/chunnel, immediately set that location as a favourite to use to navigate back to for your return crossing.

Only slightly off topic, is there any way to get TomTom to use a Dover - Calais ferry rather than the Tunnel? I was sitting on the quayside at Dover last week, and plotted a route to Calais ferry treminal, and TT still wanted me to go back to Folkstone, use the tunnel and drive from Coquelles to Calais! I wouldn't mind so much, but I'm not convinced the tunnel is always the quickest motorway to motorway.

Could be the differences in our Maps. It has always worked for me. Confused
