Just been back to Jolly Old for 10 days (didn't I do well ?)  Hired a car and drove about 1,000 miles in the week.  Borrowed our son's stick-on Sat Nav and flippin' glad I did.  Hit a couple of motorways I never knew existed and hit Newcastle at 5pm.  Took us through no trouble.  So, I'm thinking of getting one of my own.  Never having owned one I could do with some advice.  In UK it's easy to program in your destination using a post code but obviously they don't exist here.  Can anyone pass on their comments please.
Thanks.

Sorry not next week ..In 2 weeks time..

Need to wake up ..!!!!

Do they understand directions such as:

'It's the third turning on the left after the olive tree that has a blue rock by the side of it'

if not then it wouldn't be much use to me

Hi for of the beaten track you need something like memory map navigator  or ozi explorer with the appropriate maps, not 100% on Tortosa area but have used in Pyrenees with my PDA did once have a program with all maps of spain on think it was called compegps !
As for TomTom I use it all the time, USA and  Europe on the  PDA with updated maps and all at a Yorkshiremans type of price if you know what I me sad but am lost without it know.

My garmin and her tom tom both work via the postcodes in spain and france...Just remember to program it to the fastest route not the shortest ..Or else they take you across country and over the mountain roads..Up hill and down dale..

Which we discovered to our peril when going to Flix...So stick to the fastesr rout and that stays on mainly the A roads..

Yes, I realise that the Spanish post codes will take you to a town but not to a street as in UK.  I like to think I'm not daft enough to follow one over the edge of a cliff.  As my lad points out, "They're a navigation aid, not a tool".  Typical smart bottomed youngster.
