I don't have access to iTues here - how much is it?

I'd have said TomTom. I thought it was CoPilot but the experience of
myself and a mate running it on separate 3Gs made me doubt that.
Laggy as all hell, and a disaster in built up areas. I think TomTom's
a bit lighter footprint.
The GPS chip in the phone isn't particularly sensitive though.

Many thanks.

I don't _really_ have a need for a SatNav (and I'm on an 8GB 3G so space is
an issue) but I must admit that's a tempting price.

The reason I went for it in the first place was becasue it was �11 for
the US one, compared to $110 for hiring a GPS for 3 weeks. So with a �3
cradle as well I went for that, and was very impressed, so bought the UK
one when I got back
