I wouldn't bother.
Only Navteq have full mapping for Ireland at the moment and the majority of SatNav manufacturers use them. TomTom and others such as iGo uses TeleAtlas mapping who only have superficial mapping outside of the big cities and major N roads. They say they're working on it though.Navteq (and one other company) have mapped all of Ireland so ensure whatever product you use has the latest maps. Some popular manf are Garmin, Tom Tom (who all use the Navteq maps)
Hi RS2K,
Im assuming that this is a mis post and that you intended to add more?
aj
No. I think they are pricey and add very little in the context of Ireland.
In Europe and for long intercontinental journeys fine, but they are not needed to navigate from Dublin to anywhere else really.
I would agree to a certain extent. However, each potential customer has to decide for themselves if its worth it. If you have a job that requires you to call out to houses either urban or in the sticks, it would be nice to have a gps system that you can rely on to get you there without having to depend on drawn out directions.
For me, if it saves me the irritation of being unsure in where I'm going even just a couple of times a year - its worth it for what i've spent (my system didnt cost me much as I already had a decent phone to run it off).

They need to map all the little boreens - cos for rural use, thats where satnav can come into its own.
With route 66,it shows each 'townland' as you pass through - but only on the main roadways. If they extended this to ALL roads, then it would help a lot.In Ireland we're severly restricted by the lack of proper postcodes, introducing these would aid satnav systems enormously
