All, thanks for the replies. Really helpful. Thoughts so far:

So tempted to stray from my budget and get a Pilot, but I can’t. The slight inaccuracies of the road database mention by 3MF is a bit of a put off as well.

Skymap – too expensive.

Flyingfemme – hear what you say, so now not put off by the database update factor, but it seems that most GPS with aviation databases put me out of my price range.

Evo has a good point of having a visual cue of a map (albeit a road map) by using the non Pilot verson of the GPS. Also would be useful in the car. I would go for this, but I can’t find one anywhere near 120 quid with UK roadmap. Any pointers?

Otherwise I think it is a choice between the vanilla Magellan 315 or 310, and the Garmin 12. The Garmin looks the business (if upside down – shouldn’t the keys be on the bottom?).

Anyway – keep the ideas coming – decision time is tomorrow.
