I am on second Tomtom and considering what else on the market I find Tomtom to be overpriced and lacking in navigation features such as off road. I am looking for a SATNAV that includes European Maps as far as Turkey. Does anyone have practical experience and advice?

If you're going off-road then learn the route and prepare accordingly well in advance. -
I've still not bought a sat. nav, though I sometimes wish my Touch would provide GPS co-ordinates.Comment

I knew someone would come up with that one! Since I used to Rally I quite cable of reading a map and plotting a route even off road. I never rely solely on a SAT_NAV but a SAT_NAV in excellent for timing and places with little or no signs. In Turkey even the taxi drivers get lost in the cities and that is main reason for needing a SAT-NAV."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

There's an app for that.
Got TomTom installed on my iPhone. Whole map of Europe. Walking routes are very handy when holidaying in a strange town."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

SatNav has got to be among the best things invented in the last 50 years, I bloody love it. You get one, you can't go back, no way. Cheap Garmin for me, got Europe in but not Turkey. Days of big maps and atoz's on your knee trying to find poxy little streets, gone and not missed.Comment

I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

When the first time this happened I thought where the f*** are you taking me and ignored it. The second time because I knew where I was and my passenger didn't mind I followed it.
