Can anyone please tell me if the 3D terrain feature of this device extends to the UK? I read a review that said that the 3D terrain is not available here and the 3D buildings are few and far between and only in London.
Is 3D terrain present in South Wales, Lake District, Scotland etc?

Indeed the 3D terain works in the UK:

On the M6 through the Lake District


In the highlands of Scotland on the A9


The 3D buildings are also present although I have only seen a few such as Blackpool Tower in the town I live in - Mike

Wow that looks cool!
Is this level of detail available throughout the UK?

Yes you get the same sort of detail throughout the UK although the area I live in is flat so obviously you don't see much around the Fylde, once you get anywhere with a few hills the display is stunning - Mike
