Satellite Navigation

[Billy the Fish]

Can anyone recommend a decent sat nav for around £200. I have tried searching the interweb but all the reviews are old/shit

I've got the TomTom 710, but only because it has European street level mapping.Superb piece of kit.
If you don't intend driving abroad then the 510 will be fine.

My Navman F20 was £150 at Halfords.

UK maps, static speed camera locations, simple to use.

I've done 8000 miles since Christmas and its been a godsend

Absolute bargain

If nothing else, a Sat Nav will at least make the Mrs shut up while you're driving.

Not sure what the 510 does that the One doesn't, but I got a TomTom One as a Christmas pressie and it is also fab.

Read a map you lazy sod

We've got a TomTom 910, and used it driving in France last summer and it was brilliant. It can read out your text messages if you have your phone blue-toothed to it. The only think that isn't good is the holder in the car, it tends to flop after a while. But other than that, its been a real godsend, especially trying to find football grounds that my son is playing at. I like the fact that if you ignore it and take a wrong move, it recalculates the route and gets you back on the right track!

Tom tom 510 is in the lead at the moment because of it's hands free capabilities, but I do like the look of the traffic report add on for the nav-man. Tom Tom does that as well but I don't like the sound of the extra mobile phone costs. Thanks for the advice, a bit more investigation needed.

To the read a map brigade, I did used to be like that but I do alot of travelling for work and often have to find address' which are only on local maps. Today was the final straw when I had to piss about finding a garage to buy a local map for sittingbourne

please note it may not work and you may get caught

TomTom One is what I use, fantastic and within your £200 budget.

 

[judewri]

we've got a navman 320, quite old now and don't think you can buy them new, but plenty on e bay (bargain price )
we like the fact it is portable... moves from car to car no probs, and has never let us down....

Tom Tom 510 for £259.92

I went for this bad boy in the end, £240 from http://www.handtec.co.uk. Used it for the first time today and I can confirm that it's the nuts. It's already saved me a load of hassle trying to find places today, so well worth the money IMO. Thanks for the advice.
