the best graphics i have seen is from www.i-go.com
the all round is tomtom though. i have tomtom and i go and i do use both. tomtom has 7 digit post code OR zip code. i go only has 5. tomtom has a slightly better voice.
but i dont knoe of better graphics than I-GO, it even shows the sun in the sky

i was wanting the same, and will be interested in replies, the enquiries ive made so far suggest a stand alone system such as tomtom 710 maybe the better option?

I have the Dell BT GPS with Navteq maps on my x51v and have used it in the UK and France with no problems. It doesn't have the sun or post code support but has lots of points of interest. The directions are fine and I haven't got lost.
