[Mark-172]

Hi everyone

just wondering if anyone has any advice for me as I'm looking to buy a sat nav.

Have around £120 to spend is that too much ? or too little ? and whats the best make to get tom tom, garmin or navman ??

Theres just so many to choose from and i dont have the foggiest which one would be best. I would only need it for the UK so not fussed if it hasnt got europe road layouts on it

Thanks

Mark

I prefer the TomTom ones, personally.

Depends what you need. Some of them do so much. I just want the route. I have my iPhone if I need to find a local Tesco etc.

I got one for £70 from the TomTom refurb store. Does UK & Europe.

Would you not just use your iPhone for sat nav purposes? Why have a stand alone one?

You might as well put the money towards a decent smart phone and use that. Android comes with google navigation for free. I'm sure the other competitors have something similar....

I wanted them separate. If I take my TomTom when I'm passenger in a car, I want my phone to play with.

TOMTOM, with speed camera updates.

I've got an aging 500, but its got the full integration kit for routing instructions and phone calls into the stereo.

But you can download POIs to add local Tescos etc to the map.

TomTom for me too.

If you can find one with live traffic in your price range then thats good to. Has saved me from sitting in Days worth of traffic!

Dad just bought this one, but full europe version and it's spot on TBH, unless you need it to do anything fancy

TomTom are very clear and easy to use, ive had a couple of different brands and the TomTom wins hands down, Mines a fairly old one aswell so im sure the newer ones are better
