We like:
Full postcode search; Bluetooth hands-free; wide, bright screen; Euro maps
We don't like:
Unreliable map display; tricky interface; weak multimedia extras
CNET UK judgement:

Full review:
With TomTom dominating the in-car GPS market, newcomers like Medion have to pile on the features to get a look in. Its range-topping PNA470 has full European mapping, TMC traffic info, Bluetooth connections and multimedia extras. It's available now for just under £300. Continue Reading...
