Another new member to sat nav.
I may be able to answer a little with my very limited experiance.
Form what I have read the U.K., is covered by one SD card. Europe is an SD card per country unless the unit has a hard drive like tom tom go 700 or the mio 269. They seem to store all of Europe and UK so you don't have to keep changing the maps, but check it out. Remember I'm new too.
I've tried the 'inc 510', mio 269, but what won me over was tom tom go 500. I've been experimenting as many different scenarios, purposely going down wrong roads and it recalculated within seconds. I'm still learning many new things that it can do, immpressive.
As far as feed back on 'field tests' are conerned it is very hit-an-miss, I had to do a lot of searching of various mags to get the answers.
I hope this will help you, as I said the best unit I've found was Tom Tom GO 500 was good enough for me.
