Advantages: Affordable, accurate directions

Disadvantages: Traffic unit, expensive maps

The Garmin C510 review is an affordable Sat-Nav unit that is available with maps of the most of Europe, included in the price. The unit itself is medium size - approximately the same size as the TomTom equivalent - The 700series.

The maps are very accurate and the interest points very comprehensive

The traffic unit lets the unit down. Although Subscribed to TrafficMaster (usually included with the product), the receiver fails to pick up on any information, or very little, and doesn't help to avoid traffic.

The directions are slightly advanced, and the unit voice is loud enough.

The chunkyness of the unit is unusual in a modern satnav, and looks ugly.

The Maps are probably the biggest downside of the unit. Although accurate, they cost a lot of money to upgrade to the latest edition. It costs around 70GBP to update the maps - which is why some people are more interested in purchasing a new unit, rather than the latest maps. But - the new units have old maps also!

Summary: Not a bad unit but recommend a Navman
