Best Sat Nav?

What is the best Sat Nav to buy?

 

[Dave S2K]

Most people i've spoken to say TomTom for ease of use and reliablility mate, my dad bought 5 for the company cars a few months back, they love 'em.

There's one on my Christmas list!

 

[Dan85]

cheers bud.

Anyone else got any ideas. Best makes and best models?

Bluemedia destinators are decent, was selling them during the summer so had to demo them.

However once ive got a bluetooth gps reciever ill be using TOM TOM Mobile 5 on my Nokia 6680

 

[mr edt]

tomtom! sell them at work easily the best! easy to use and nice to look at!

I would go for tomtom aswell got it on a pda .The tomtom go's are good aswell all in one and if you get the 500 version you get built in bluetooth handsfree there is three different ones 300 500 and 700 there is only slight differences between them

 

[mr edt]

there is now a tomtom one aswell its the cheapest but smaller and just as good as the 300 less battery life but slimer!

You need an additional Bluetooth GPS receiver for mobile versions to work with effect though correct?

Just looking at Argos as they're offering 20% off SatNav:

But it only details the Garmin i3 as using AA Batteries; surely it comes with an AC lead to power from cigarette lighter/hardwire?

But apart from touchscreen i don't see what else it does that can't be dont on the garmin?

 

[Dan85]

What about 'Becker trappic pilot'.

Anyone know about this?

 

[Michael]

The Best is Alpine´s dvd sat-nav.......got it all and lots of features including. TMC. Nice graphic and split-screen.

Porteble sat-nav I would say Garmin street Pilot 26xx series. miles better than tom tom and pda-systems.

Got all of them in the last years....And now my alpine does a wery good job!! But it´s also the most expensive of the range.

 

[Dan85]

Is 'Becker Traffic Assist' any good?
