Have a look/compare all the Garmin models to fine tune it for your use.

The most important bit is to get one with the -D tag which is the digital traffic. Far better than the RDS traffic.

I opted for the 2599LMT-D with lifetime maps, digital traffic and voice control.

Out of interest why do you prefer Garmin rather than Tomtom.

Apart from what Tomtom have done over 3rd party POI's

You've got it in one. The cameras here are far more up to date and more customisable than the OEM packages.

It wasn't that long ago that a poster here identified TT's cameras being October 14.

If TT allowed third party bulk camera POi's and the correct functionality like they used to then I'd look at them again.

Thanks I will take your advice and go for it.

I dont think I can trust my Galaxy S5 not to blow up with 2000 miles to drive.

The Tomtom app stutters with every direction it makes. Not impressed with that - but App was good with good access to your contacts.

Have you got any guides on how to install the PGWS Database.

Also I have this fitted in my car which is what I used to power the Tomtom in a Broti holder.

Will it work - 1. Charge it and 2. Provide the Digital trafic info.

Thanks again for your advice.

1 Yes
2. No (Even if you get a device with traffic. You have to use Garmins cable).

2) Or use Smartlink, which isn't as good as it used to be, see other posts.
