Grundig NAV100

Advantages: Excellent layout and easy to use, many unique features
Disadvantages: I really could not find any!

Just about the best Christmas present ever. Where do I begin with the NAV100? the stylish looks? Easy to use and versatile layout? Outlook synchronization? Incredible battery life?.... This little sat nav has it all and a lot more. It is like a little mobile PC, containing all the crucial information you will ever need while you are out of the office/home. All your contacts, appointments, addresses, tasks, etc. can be stored on the NAV100 and later ...
...SD card that contains the maps of UK & Ireland and you get all the other European maps on a double CD-ROM. Comes with speed camera alerts from a very well established French company called GPS inform, who currently has the most detailed speed camera database of the entire Europe. I found the joy stick and the buttons on the unit an absolute godsend, no more wondering around an endless array of menus and sub-menus to find what you're looking for. ...

Great cheap Sat nav.

Advantages: Extremely easy to use, visually looks nice, has GPS updates via PC etc.
Disadvantages: Wish it came with a hard carry case for when not plugged in

I was very dubious when buying this to begin with. I've always driven using road signs, maps and a good sence of direction. Apon buying the Tom Tom Go 530 in late 2008 and turning it on I very quickly changed my mind. The device is very simple to set-up. It only takes approx 5 minutes to set a home position, your own details and various other customisable options (such as backgrounds, colour screens, voices etc etc) The first proper use I had was ...
...various roads and motorways. Here are some of the features that the device come with: Tom Tom Map share (This lets users make corrections to their own maps instantly on the go, you can also get other peoples "shares" through the Tom Tom Home software (which comes with it) Latest map guarantee so users always have free access to the latest map at time of purchase (This only lasts for 30 days after activating the product) 4.3 inch touch screen (very ...

Mio Moov Spirit 300 Traffic

Advantages: Generally everything
Disadvantages: High priced updates £79 which is a lot for an occasional user

...this week (£60 at Morrisons),the mio moov m300. Running through the menus is very easy and so is planning or searching for your route. This model has lane guidance which can be useful at motorway intersections and complex junctions in the city. The voice instructions are nice and clear and the volume is excellent and I also like the night and day screen settings. I tried it out in my home city and asked it to take me to a fairly difficult destination ...
...that was planned by the mio and it recalculated to my new route almost instantly. This model has navpix, this allows you to enter a destination via a geo tagged photo but in my opinion I cannot see much point in it. I would have rated this sat nav as excellent but unfortunately the price wanted for map and speed camera updates are ridiculous it would be cheaper to buy a new sat nav each year,so I can only rate it as good for the money. ...

Excellant little gadget

Advantages: Excellant little gadget
Disadvantages: Keeps losing its GPS signal for longer than it should

TomTom ONE combines ease of use, portability, touchscreen technology and an elegant, unmistakable new design. Drivers can enjoy the benefits of a TomTom ONE immediately, thanks to TomTom’s award-winning plug and drive navigation software pre-installed on a memory card. This means there is no need to download complicated software, just plug in and start using. TomTom ONE comes with the latest maps of Western Europe. I got this at xmas from Currys ...
...fits perfectly into my pocket or handbag and is perfect for when I travel to football ground around the country. It charges via the USB on my laptop or in car charger. It has various free voices that I can download from the internet and I can also get numerous free updates. I also got a free speed camera cd with the box which was worth £19.99 so was an added bonus. Only problem I have found is that every so often it is losing the GPS signal and becomes ...

Low Bridge, no problem, this is the best truck sat nav

Advantages: Clear instructions, many extra features, avoids all trucking hazards.
Disadvantages: Almost too large, expensive to purchase

...bit nicer. The Snooper Sirius S7000 Truckmate is the same as the normal Snooper Sirius S7000, but it has been loaded with a special truck version of the sat-nav software which is made by a company called Truckmate, so it is a sort of colaberation between the two companies. You can get two versions - the UK & Ireland and the UK and Europe. My husband owns the latter, but they work identically, it just depends if you plan on going to Europe or not ...
...with, looks the machine has a sleek black finish and is completely flat, at about 2cm thick, It has a 7" flat screen which produces an excellent quality picture. It comes with a hefty mounting bracket to enable you to stick it to the inside of the window, and various external aerials to enable you to get the best reception for all the applications you require (However you don't need to use these if you are just using it as a Sat-nav, so its not complicated, ...
