Best Piece of Advice We Can Give You!


  If you intend to use the satnav in Ireland make sure it has NAVTEQ digital maps.

  If the GPS is only for use abroad, then satnavs based on either NAVTEQ or
  Tele Atlas digital maps will be very good.

The most common question we are asked - How good is mapping for Ireland?


NAVTEQ Digital Map detail available for Ireland.

Ireland does lags behind other European countries.  While most urban areas (cities and major towns) are very well mapped with full street-level mapping that allows you to navigate to a specific address, there are significant gaps in rural areas with most GPS systems providing little or no coverage for minor roads.  This means, for example, that you will be able to navigate to any town in Ireland, say 'Naas', but unlike Dublin, Cork, Limerick etc., it is most likely that you will not be able to navigate to an address in Naas, say '23 Woodfield Close'.

This situation is changing and by the end of 2006-early 2007 it should be possible to purchase map updates for GPS systems that will have full 100% coverage for Ireland.

The GPS systems with the best coverage for Ireland are those based on NAVTEQ mapping techology.  This includes, for example, the full range of GPS automotive and PDA/PC products supplied by Garmin and GPS software bundles from Alturion™.   The popular Navman and TomTom GPS products use Tele Atlas map data so unfortunately are not suitable for use in rural Ireland.
