I have had a TomTom Classic (the round back one ) for about 3 years now, It has taken me with spot on precision all over the UK and across Europe down to the edge of Austria on a trip to Slovakia and this was on the basic supplied maps.

I get a speed camera location download every month (N.B. Don't use these in Switzerland as they can confiscate your sat nav) & I would recommend the TomTom to anyone.
Mine was fairly pricey when new (about £400) but they can be bought for just over £100 now. Several of the newer TomTom's have gone fairly slim now but as I use mine on the top of the dashboard size doesn't matter (who said that).
I dropped mine on a stone floor once, whilst on holiday, & possibly because of it's semi spherical shape it bounced up. The shock caused it to completely lose all information at the time but I pressed the internal reset 'button' and it powered back as normal so it appears to be quite robust.
When I bought mine TomTom support was not brilliant, hopefully they have changed now but I would not bank on it.

There is a TomTom forum but although some members are very helpful some are downright rude & abusive. (Not like this forum you're all true 'Gents'))
