i bought a becker trafic assist not that impressed with it.
now my wife has just passed her driving test and i bought her a car she now hinting for a sat-nav.
i'm thinking of getting 700 or the 800 for myself and give her the becker
witch one should i go for i'm not sure is the 800 better because its newer and have up to date maps or should i go for the 700.
Hawk521 said of the 800 that it is in fact a quite different GPS. Unlike the 700/760, the 800 is built on a Microsoft Mobile PC not sure what he ment anyway has anyone bought an 800 ifso what is your oppinion on it

I purchased a 700 and liked it alot but returned it (before I learned of the software upgrade that is soon to be available). I recently purchased the 800. While it does not have Text to speech capability it has the same # of POI and you can input your own POI.

The graphics and screen shots are different on the 800. They look "better", I cant describe it. One would expect that the processor and capability would be better on a new model. After all the 700 has been out since 2004.

Just my 2 cents.
