Darren-I have been and currently are However, I never knew that many
existed! The GPS side of things I'm not that worried about (at the mo),
more really street walking and route planning of A to B.
TomTom looks good-just looking for some advice before buying
By the way-very imformative and comprehensive site

you may try "tube"
it's good for underground and map. the mapping is beautiful....for once !!!
take a look

Those screenshots are beautiful maps. As a (free) alternative I like Metro
found at

http://nanika.net/Metro

There are no maps, but how to get from places via the underground/tube/metro
and or bus routes in many, many cities across the globe, you can't beat it
(or at least I can't)

It also ties in with your contact list (assuming you know the closest bus,
tram, metro stop) so you can navigate to people, not just to stops or points
of interest.

Again if you want street maps as well as public transportation information
Metro is not for you, but if all you want is directions check it out.
