Kenwood KVT725
Advantages: Many, your driver can get you there quick! Disadvantages: not applicable
My servant Charles thought that one of these fine things would be a great idea for my Bentley, so I sent him off to the local electrical establishment to acquire one for a principal sum of £1000. A meer snip in the wallet for a lord like myself. Once fitted to the bentley my driver took me on a trip round my private estate and found out that this piece of technology really does indeed help one who has a long way to go every morning: from my manor ... ...This little device helped me find a quicker route and I am amazed that my driver didn't know this, AFTER 10 years of service, i sacked him for it and sent him and his family out of the estate! So having spent £1000 I saved money from one less person to pay and therefore this thing is really good value for my extensive large inheritance which never seems to run out! Yes I am ALAN SUGAR and I will be giving all of the money from this review to great ...

Stressfree travel! No more maps
Advantages: Stress free, easy travel Disadvantages: Can get confusing if you are driving on a new road that isn't on your map!
TOMTOM ONE 3rd edition. I got my tomtom as a Xmas present last year, and wow what a present it was. I like to whizz off for weekends away with my daughter, somerset, Cornwall, London etc and I have always used AA route planner before, which was great, but reading whilst at the wheel isn't really that safe is it! I have also found I can get very stressed if I am trying to find my way somewhere and miss a turning etc. Using the TOMTOM makes my travel ... ...1) Driving around London, tomtom made that so easy, I could spend my time concentrating on what the taxi's and white vans were doing and the computer told me where to go, SIMPLE. 2) On a holiday to Portugal I used my Dads edition Europe. It was fantastic, all I had to do was concentrate on driving on the correct side of the road. What would have normally been a stressful driving experience was a very normal driving experience. SO WHAT IS A SAT NAV? ...

Garmin NÜVI 1390 easy to use.
Advantages: Very Simple to Use, Screen large and clear Disadvantages: Can't think of any
Garmin NÜVI 1390 is very simple to use - up and running after just a few clicks to set your location. The colour screen is large and clear, you can zoom in or out (which I find very useful) whilst viewing maps. On major junctions it also displays on the screen all the different lanes and which one you should be in. There's a lot of different voices that you can choose from, in almost every different language.
I've used mine on around 10 long journeys ... ...spot on (my previous sat nat would have me going round in circles). It has a handy feature whereby it beeps when it detects a speed camera, although I have now turned this off as where I live there are speed cameras around every corner, so it was constantly beeping.
It managed to pick up a satellite signal whilst inside my house, which my old sat nav never did.
Battery life is good - mine lasts around 4 hours. It also comes with a cigarette charger, ...

Invaluable For The Geographically Useless Like Me!
Advantages: Good lay-out, clear instructions both visually and vocally Disadvantages: Most satnavs, including the Nuvi, seem to encounter a 'technical fault' eventually
...decided to invest in the Garmin Nuvi 200 (UK). I purchased this from Halfords when they had a sale on Sat Navs for £89.99, but they generally retail for £99.99. Although these devices have come down in price since first being marketed, they're still very pricey. I'm sure there will be many more offers on now around Christmas with updated models, so there's even more choice now. I wouldn't have bought one if I felt safe with your bog standard map ... ...wouldn't load. I spoke with Garmin who suggested a few things to try, but nothing helped and they put it down to a 'technical fault which can not be fixed'. Be aware of the returns/fix policy of the shop from which you buy this product. Although they're good sat navs, they still have many complaints made about them and hundreds of units get returned to the shop and exachanged. With Halfords, I just took the product in along with the receipt, and ...
