    Sat Nav

    Obviously most of you don't need them as you have run up and down the country and know the roads back to front and upside down.

    But...

    If you aren't one of these and you have a Sat Nav, could you post what you have or what you would get.

    Obviously im not going to spend over £400 but im not going to spend £50 if you know what i mean, so give me your recommendations.

    I have TomTom software on my USB, so that isnt an issue if using say a Garmin or becker...

    New poster! (less than 10 posts)

    I recently bought a Navigo 4.3" Widescreen Sat Nav. It was only £65 and it gets really good reviews.

    Its this one on ebuyer (currently £70 ) -

    Got TomTom v7 working on it with the Aug 08 speed cam update and it works as good as any TomTom I've used.

    Really good bit of kit, works perfectly. Recommended

    Go to halfords and buy your self the Garmin nuvi 200 or 250 if you want euro mapping both items sell for less than £100 and are very good

    If you have one scratch, its probs best avoided

    I'm only kidding, but on the garmin nuvi i have heard only good things from them but weighing up the difference between a garmin and a tom tom.

    Re: Sat Nav

    I have a tomtom 1 unit, non the wide screen but has europe map... tbh there all the same.. i really cant see why people spend £400+ on them...

    I paid £130 from Commet and i am more than happy with it... it gets me whether i want to go (Europe included) and rarely goes wrong... although u have to pay attention not to go down Dead ends or 1 way streets... but its not hard to pay attention to the road is it?
