Hello, i was wondering if anyone else had bought this system and what they thought of it?

My father in law bought it and in helping him to set it up i found it was a bit difficult to find some locations in Dublin, and also there were some places that werent even on it, and im not talking about new estates, an example would be an estate right beside Blanch village which has been there about 30 years or more, it wasnt there...

Anyway, being a system that originates in Germany i figured that their map data wasnt up to scratch so i Emailed someone at mysatnav and he said that that indeed might be the case. He said to check if it was Tele Atlas mapping because their mapping of Ireland is not very comprehensive at present.

I havent has access to the system since i set it up a couple of weeks ago so i havent had a chance to check where the maps come from so i was wondering if anyone else here had done so or had any opinions on the system...

Id love to hear what people think. Apart from the maps thing the system is quite neat and nice to use, but i suspect that taking a chance and buying a Sat Nav system from LIDL as opposed to somewhere like Halfords etc... may not prove to be such a good idea afterall...
