Default Help/Advice required for new GPS purchase

Morning Ladies/Gents,

I would like some advice and recommendations from you pro's before i go out and purchase a new GPS system.
I currentley have a Navman 510 which i am thinking about changing for another system with traffic and speed camera avoidance.

I work in the Traffic Management industry and regularly travel into London also around the south east. I rarely have postcodes to work with, usually just street names and have found that the Navman sometimes does not find the street without the postcode or part postcode and i have to refer to the paper A-Z so its counter productive.

I would not require any extras such as Bluetooth or links to laptop ar anything like that. My main requirements are: Street finder, post code locator, traffic avoidance, and speed camera warning.

So, what would you guys recommend??

Your help is appreciated.
Cheers, Adam.

I would look at these systems.

If you want traffic you would have to buy a TMC reciever separately though.

You can sign up for traffic via tomtom plus wich means you need a bluetooth mobile rather than a TMC reciever. ALthough there will be a TMC reciever available for the 510.

All these systems will do what your looking for.
