also, you pay a lot for features you might not actually use

would just suggest getting the cheapest Garmin Nuvi that has the screen size and all the features you want.

My old tomtom was a higher spec one and all it has is bluetooth and handsfree compatibility that I've never used. It had traffic and speed cameras too, which weren't standard at the time, but think they all have that now.
