just a quick question whats the exact differences between the older go and the go 300..will the bits interchange for example.. and would the later maps work on the older go..

The 300 has Bluetooth, for TT PLUS Services.

It depends what you mean by 'bits'.

Yes the Classic can use the latest Maps and Software.

The windscreen mounts are different (two multiway connectors on the Go, one on the 300).
IIRC, you can modify the old mount to fit the new unit, if you're up to a bit of DIY.

The external aerial will be a problem as it uses the model-specific mount.

Here's a link to the DIY solution I was talking about.
