The whole of the UK is just over 90Mb and sits on a 128Mb MMC card=20
in my Jornada. You can also download maps for other countries from=20
the TT website if you're travelling abroad - brilliant when I went=20
to Paris the other day and had a hire car.

When I get in the car I just type in the address and bingo. If you=20
make a deviation en-route it will recalculate the route for you.=20
There are a number of different 'voices' you can use (I=20
prefer 'Jane') but the real bonus I find are the Point Of Interest=20
layers that it can use. There are tons to download of the web (speed=20
cameras, restuarants, hotels etc) and you can make your own. There=20
are also some add in programs like CheckPOInt and POIWarner that=20
will actually announce an upcoming POI (for example 'speed camera in=20
30 seconds').
