Well, I'm not in the UK, I'm in Asia, I was just using pounds to allow for
comparison... Also, the garmin car navigation devices I've seen here have
been limited to street data, no topo data... That said, UK pricing for
Garmin devices did seem to be considerably higher than US pricing too when I
last looked, but, many, especially technology, imports to the UK tend be
priced at around the same number of pounds as dollars, if not more, even
when there were two dollars to the pound :(...
