Advantages: Easy to use, bigger screen makes is easier to see

Disadvantages: No extra features

This sat nav will not let you down if your simply looking for a sat nav that does uk and european mapping. Being a garmin it will last and will not give you any niggly problems that maybe a tomtom will give you. I have never had a problem with this, but have heard of peoples screens freezing, just to be fixed by pressing the reset button at the bottom.
The actual operation of the unit couldnt be simpler, you just press a few button and then your ready to go, it has full postcode search so will get you to excatly where you want to go and this has never let me down whilst travelling in the uk.
Another good feature is that it has an sd card slot, allowing for future maps to be added to the unit, whereas some other units, mainly tomtoms, do not allow this.
The larger screen is great if you have a windscreen that slopes far away, or you eyesight isnt what it used to be, however if these arent problems then maybe go for the non-widescreen and save a bit of money.

Summary: Simple sat nav with ability to expand future maps
