I have a revision Q and it's actually pretty good.  Full postcode, reasonably responsive, decent enough graphics and never get any satellite drop outs (TomToms were notorious for that back in the day).  The really old 510s, revision A - E are mega sluggish by modern standards.

It does indeed give you directions in the MFD display, I forgot about that.  I find myself looking at the Nav 99% of the time though!

Fitted full bcs turbo back exhaust that I bought on Black Friday last year with R32 rear bumper to my eddy. Big thanks to Nige and co at bcs the exhaust is spot on, went for the prestige system which is just right not too loud not too quiet. Cars gone to body shop now to get the bumpers sprayed.
