    Why don't you have a look at the latest maps online, and see if they have the housing estates you're looking for?
    Garmin's v9 is here. This has some pretty recent NavTeq maps.

    Yes, it will show you your current location, and you can see approaching roads and estates as long as they're on the maps, but obviously if it doesn't know where you want to go it wont give you directions.

    Thanks Krusty for that yes it does show a fair bit alright.Im looking at the Garmin 310d@459.99euro and the Garmin 310 @399 do you know if they are any good or any advice on models to look at.Halford seem to give different advice every time i go in which is no help.
