viewsonic any good?

[brugge13]

Could anybody tell me whether the map coverage is any good. I suppose it's not as good as the more expensive Tom Tom maps.

I've not used Tom Tom (2 expensive for me!!!) but I can tell you that the map for the UK is very similar in coverage to that in M$ Mappoint Europe 2002. Perfectly adequate for point to point driving.

However, the product itself is very buggy due I suspect to a crap memory usage model. Doesn't like compact flash GPS's and if you try to use a really big map it'll crash (if it'll even load) at some point no matter what type of GPS you use.

You get what you pay for, it's cheap and it works.......sometimes!

I have bought it before your reply mainly because as you say the alternative Tom Tom is so expensive and this one covers the whole of Europe. I do however have a CF GPS card and I'm quite worried now it won't work with the software. Thank you for your reply.
