TomTom 3 OR CoPilot 4/5

So smart people I need some guidance.

I've read the reviews, I've looked at the web sites but I'm pants at making decisions.

General needs met by both, main concerns about any GPS is useability and relaibility. My 2210 has been refreshingly stable as a business tool, wifi into hotspots via plug-in card, BT to Activsync etc. etc

I don't want to stuff the 2210 with doddgy GPS software

Three potential needs may swing the decision, one, iminent trip to Centreparcs Belguim via France (bound to get lost). December holiday to Australia (will certainly get lost). I understand CoPilot has Aussie maps. I currently use Route66 (2201) on my laptop to complete my company expenses and ensure I'm claiming the right amount (so the taxman does not get grumpy). I understand CoPilot 4 includes a desktop version which would allow me replace Route 66.

For those users that have had experience of both systems please give your honest advice as to the best investment and what you would buy or have bought and why.

If you want to use it across the UK, Europe and Australia, then I think you've probably already decided that CoPilot really supports all of these environments and going with a single interface will be easier.

To have complete European maps and Australian maps will cost you a premium as opposed to just UK maps.

A lot of people like TomTom, but you will pay a premium if you want European maps (more so than CoPilot or Navman) and they don't have any Aussie maps.

My preference for the tasks ahead (depending on budget of course) would be CoPilot.
