GPS any good in Northern Ireland?
I know this is slightly off topic, but can anyone with first hand knowledge of the issues involved please offer any advice or opinions on the use of in-car GPS systems in Northern Ireland (and to a lesser extent, the Republic of Ireland)?
From what I have read up on the net so far most of the usual models available - Garmin, Magellan, TomTom etc. - will supply a fully digitised map system of mainland GB, but few will offer more than detailed maps of Belfast with just main roads shown between the "major towns". If this is the case it hardly seems worth buying for local (NI or ROI) use, which would be a shame.
Is this apparent lack of detail due to the Ordnance Survey NI not making their information available to the GPS companies, or are there other reasons?
All relevant help would be very much appreciated.
