AA truckers atlas, both scales.

Use in conjuction with basic satnav which is a good pocket sized full street map of the country for help at the last knockings of a journey

I find if you don’t regularly plug your TomTom into your computer and update it, it can struggle to find satellite signals.

There were problems with some TomTom units around the time the clocks went forward in March. This would result in them appearing unable to get a lock on the satellites. Easily fixed with a downloaded update though.

I can have a ‘look’ at these if you want, I may be able to put the latest NavCore and Maps on, depending on the model. Just cover postage (Special Delivery) both ways and make a small donation to the CF Trust Charity. Let me know.

I convert Tomtom x20’s, x30’s, and x40’s into truck navs and never had any probs with them, after a hard reset, they can take a minute to find satalites, but after that, they’d be quick again.

I personally recommend the x30 converted.
