Most reviews on the net are for the British version but they are helpful to

**Note** The "Top Gear" Tom Clarkson edition is a celebrity endorsed product
. The GPS was pulled from the market. The removal does not appear to be
related in any way to the quality of the product. According to the BBC, "
Top Gear is a show that reviews cars, there is a conflict of interest and it
is potentially unethical for the show to directly profit from its
partnership with TomTom, which is perfectly understandable." Read more
