same as mine that one comes with car charger and plug charger, cant fault it £50 you'll never need a atlas again or get lost

small enough to fit in your pocket to, need a series60 nokia phone to put tomtom on it tho like a 6600 7610 6630 etc

tomtom mobile 5 with great britain map and POI from here http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/tomtompoi.php

beeps when your near a speed camera etc

Using it on my nokia 6630, takes up about 110Mb so you'll need a memory card. You can even get memory cards on ebay with tomtom on them. Make sure you get the right memory card tho the newer nokias (6630/6680 etc)need a dual voltage card usually say DV somewere.

mines fine for connecting to phone not had any trouble does it all via bluetooth. CD that comes with the GPS reciever is just a manuel tells you what the lights mean etc no need for it really.

just turn the gps on put it on the dash (even works in the glove box)
turn tomtom on and select your destination postcode/address or point of intrest

away you go, very handy for speed camera locations and spots were they do mobile cams hopefully will never get a ticket

good for telling speed too, my speedo is well out 70 on the car is really about 63ish
