I found the device excellent for those traumatic "roundabouts" (traffic circles) that are used in the UK. Before even getting to the circle, Mr. Cleese advises what to do. "Enter the roundabout, second exit". The unit also shows you visually what to do, so the co-pilot can help by screeming directions at you. Great fun. IF you miss the exit, he waits patiently for you go "go around".
I had my TomTom 910 set to the computerized American female voice when I took it to France. I quickly discovered that "roundabout" (France, too, is full of them) is not in her recorded vocabulary, so she had to guess at it, as she does with street names. I switched to the computerized British woman, who knew how to say "roundabout," and is easier in general to understand.

I love my TomTom 910.
