Just a quick bit of advice about Tom Tom Go 300 on Amazon Marketplace. There are some rediculously cheap units for sale on there at the moment ie £90. The problem is some are scammers. I got one Friday, paid for it through Marketplace (which you must do for security), had an email conversation with a guy in broken English about delivery, he said the money had been refunded which it had, pressed me for my full name and address and lo and behold, got an creditable email about ten minutes later supposedly from Amazon payments asking for the money to be paid by Western Union. He came from Romania but you never find that out until you have paid.
Rang Amazon who recredited my money to the account and filed a scam report.
Just beware, they cost about £369 as I got one Saturday from Halfords in the end. For goodness sake be careful and deal through Amazon Marketplace, not off site. They appear very authentic.
At least I lost nothing.
