Sat Nav

[jamesd]

I think i'm finally going to have to bite the bullet and buy myself a Sat Nav to make it easier getting to jobs etc

I don't want to spend a fortune (now more than £80ish) anyone got any good recommendations for one/ where to get one? I was just going to go to halfords at the weekend tbh and see what they've got but thought i'd ask on here first.

 

Cheers, James.

Was 50 quid

No think mine must be an oldermodel than that as its 3 years old now but the maps look the same

Garmin are good, things like lane control where it recommends keeping left or right, speed camera warnings, traffic conditions etc are useful. See if you can get free updates but TBH, nothing too much changes year on year.

 

I have a Garmin Nuvi - lasted well!

Looks similar but hasn't got traffic warnings. Mine must be around 4-5 years old. Factor in a carry case - you can probably pick up something like a camera case from Poundland for....£......you've got the idea:lol:

I bought a second hand Tom Tom Go live for about £60 I think it was . about £200 new . been faultless .

I have a Nokia with widows mobile, It has Here Drive sat nav which is free with free map updates and will work off the internal gps receiver... no data charges or weak gprs signal to worry about.

Its superb giving the text to speech street name directions but is quite amusing in its pronounciation of welsh from the road signs.
