| I am thinking about buying an all in one navigation unit with full
European maps. I think Nuvi 350, TomTom one Europe, and TomTom 710 fit
my requirements.
I have no need for bluetooth phone answering, so is there any
advantage of having the 710 over the TT one?
Has anyone had experience of using the TTone and Nuvi 350?
Would anyone care to advise further as to the relative pros and cons
of these units?

According to that chart, unless i'm reading it wrong, it shows the
910/710/510 as NOT having touch screen, which of course they do.

You are reading it right but misunderstanding it.
The ONE has a regular Touch Screen while the GO x10 models have what
TomTom calls an "Extra wide hi-quality touchscreen" on the line above.

| I have both 910 and Garmin 360, but using the Garmin most of the time seems
better to me, also the mount is far better and very easy to remove when
shopping etc. John

| Go to gpsmagazine.com. They have a good side-by-side comparison of devices.

| The TomTom Go 710 has Tele Atlas Maps which I found to have a lot of streets
missing.
I understand that the TomTom One Europe has NavTeq sourced maps which in my
opinion (and that of the German Automobile Club ADAC)
are much more up to date.
The Garmins all use NavTeq.

| >From what I've heard it depends really on the area that you are in. For
instance, Tele Atlas maps could show more detail in certain areas more
so than NAVTEQ. If there are problems too, you can always report them
to Tele Atlas' Map Insight program which apparently has been working
great to make sure maps are up-to-date as possible.
