Hi all.
I had a 720 that just froze, then would re-boot, maybe work for a couple of second, maybe not, and just cycle round and round doing the same thing. Tried all the suggestions given on this site, but nothing sorted it out.
So I brought a 750, 14 months ago, not as good as the 720, but did the job. Brought a US map, put it on the SD card and went to Florida. It worked great for the first 14 miles then started to do exactly the same as the 720. As we were moving around quite a bit I had no choice but to buy an XL350. Anyone one got any thoughts?
So looks like I need to replace the 750 now, but there are too many options.
I don't want to spend a lot as they seem to be unreliable. I do want UK and Western Europe maps, SD card option, 4.3 screen, ability to add / have live traffic. What would you recommend?

Unfortunately, although you don't want to spend a lot, your requirements of:
Europe maps
Live Services
SD card slot

.....all point to the top end models only.

I could drop the SD slot...

I've occasionally had problems with my GO750 freezing and rebooting, typically after installing/updating a new map.

I solve this by connecting my TomTom to my PC, going to 'Operate my GO' in TT Home, then clearing the list of recent destinations.

Hopefully this should work for you!

Some of these meet your "...I don't want to spend a lot..." criteria and shall possibly tick some other boxes too.
