Buying a TTG 300 in US and going on holiday to UK

Bluestate

Hi,
Trying to convince the wife that we might as well spend $550 on a TTG 300 and another $100+ on a UK map rather than rent a GPS unit for our 2-week hols in the UK for 120 quid.

The US version will have all of the USA pre-loaded when I only really need Northern California, but I can live with that.

Any pitfalls or more efficient alternatives that I should be aware of?

Thanks

no, sounds good. If your budget permits (which I doubt) you could buy a larger SD card and put everything onto one card.

...just keep in mind a new ac adapter on your return. But enjoy

I thought I saw in the TomTom specs that the units come with universal power supplies. All I should need for my US version of the 300 is a conversion plug - correct?

Make sure the plug says it will handle 110-240V. It should work okay, most adapters are built with dual voltage these days. But if it says nothing, assume it isn't dual voltage!

Thanks Mark. I'll be sure to check the label before I blow myself up!

If the AC adaptor being shipped with the TTG300 in the States is the same as the unit that shipped in Europe with the original TTG, it is 100 - 240V and includes a set of clip-on international adaptors. Of course, the mains adaptor is not supplied with the 300 int the UK!
