We like:
127mm (5-inch) widescreen display; loudspeaker; Fuzzy search engine; TMC Pro; AV-IN; performance
We don't like:
Flip-out aerial; basic voice commands; size and weight; no route simulation
CNET UK judgement:
For drivers of larger vehicles, such as 4x4s that position you further away from the windscreen, the RAC Sat Nav 220 is a perfect match. Its older flip out aerial design doesn't stop it from performing well and it's further enhanced by the inclusion of the excellent Fuzzy search system

The RAC Sat Nav 220 boasts a large touchscreen 127mm (5-inch) widescreen display with seamless European maps over Route 66's interface. Its girth is also joined by an equally impressive loudspeaker and a supplied Traffic Message Channel (TMC) aerial (with a life-time subscription attached). It can be bought now for around £290.
