Review: Viamichelin X-950T sat-nav device

Just the thing for travel within the UK

Pros: Free traffic alerts; Michelin Guide info Cons: No European maps; no support for full UK postcodes Overall: A good choice for UK holidaymakers, but additional maps are expensive for those planning trips further afield
