Becker Traffic Assist 7827 loose in the UK

Not that it's been that long since we heard from Becker or anything, but it's never too early for yet another numerically named navigation unit, right? Available now in the UK, the Becker Traffic Assist 7827 sports a 4.3-inch 480 x 272 resolution touchscreen, 400MHz processor, 128MB of RAM, a SiRFstarIII GPS chipset, integrated TMC receiver for traffic avoidance, an SD expansion slot and USB connectivity. Additionally, you'll find a rechargeable battery good for around five hours, a 2GB SD card with maps for 37 European countries, a headphone jack and a multimedia player that handles photos and MP3s. All things considered, we suppose it's not priced too outrageously at £249.95 ($497), but if you're still unsure if it's worth the coin, may we point out the elusive "mood light" feature to push you over the edge.

I might be wrong, but don't they drive on the other side of the road in the UK?

That's a 1 way highway. But yes, they do drive on the left.

That's a typical motorway junction in the UK just past Bristol. It's only showing one side of the motorway there, and if you can imagine the road splitting at that point, it's advising you to stay on the M5.

Looks like another Navigon made unit. They seem to be doing pretty well for themselves, first the Panasonic Stratus, now this unit.
