Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll give it a try.

I find copilot
live premium pretty good. Bear in mind when searching for reviews and comments that the premium version is pretty recent, and quite different; most comments are likely to refer to the old vesion.
I especially like the possibility to choose among 3 routes, an option most satnavs don't give you. I haven't used it extensively but I was happy with the product.
Unfortunately the traffic updates are almost useless compared to
TomTom; but then
TomTom (in case you are considering a dedicated satnav) has its share of problems because it rushed to the market half-baked, incomplete devices full of glitches and bugs, not all of which are entirely solved. Don't take my word for it, check their forums.
Probably the most relevant issue for the Android community is that the latest
TomTom devices won't work with most Androids because most Androids (shame on google) don't support bluetooth rsap (remote sim): the
TomTom keeps trying to access the phone book contacts, causing the bluetooth connection to keep dropping and becoming effectively useless. There's no option to stop the
TomTom from trying to access the phone book and act just like a normal loudspeaker - something most older models pulled off perfectly. The few Androids which support this tend to be HTC or Samsung.
By the way,
www.66.com is a forthcoming satnav app based on the TomTom maps. It will be interesting to see what it looks like. if it supports HD traffic then I'd have no need for a dedicated satnav
