Have decided to get myself a Tomtom, I don't know if I should get the Go 500 or pay the extra and get the Go 700. I'm going over to France next year and possibly Switzerland at some point. I know the Go 500 comes with 'Major' roads of Europe, but how major is major? Just motorways or their versions of 'A' roads? Was wondering if anyone can give me some advice.

Thanks, Stu.

My brother is in deepest France at the moment useing his 700 said it has worked very well,finding his villa's dirt track road,door to door no problems.
