Who Needs TOM TOM

What this Sat Nav is:

Well having visited a website I read that MyGuide 3100 Satellite Navigation System is a very popular sat nav model, so I decided to tell my mate who brought the MyGuide 3100 Sat Nav system.

The MyGuide 3100 Sat Nav Device is an entry-level plug-and-go navigation unit with a 3.5'' wide high-quality Touchscreen and compact casing with built in GPS antenna.

The MyGuide 3100 comes with an SD memory card containing pre-installed TeleAtlas mapping for the UK and Ireland.

Experience:

The slimline MyGuide 31000 GPS is cool, stylish and practical and the 3.5" LCD screen makes navigation a breeze - No need to worry if you get lost. You are able to search by postcode (full 7 digit search), or by "point of interest" (This is great, my mate has saved many points of interest, so whenever we want to go out somewhere we don't have to keep on typing the information in), this Sat Nav most definatly gives you the best route.

We wanted to go somewhere where we had never been before. My mate typed in the postcode and off we went. We ended up in placeses that we had never been to or visited but weren't worried because we were following the SAT NAV which seemed to know where we were going.

My mate missed a turn and thought 'what do we do now'. The SAT NAV automatically re-routed us. I also found out that the SAT NAV uses "detour" to avoid congestion, traffic black-spots or accidents if you are aware of them.

Upon arriving at our destination and tellings one of our friends how long it took us to get here, he couldn't believe how quickly we had got to the destination. We told him we just followed the SAT NAV (which found the quickest route).

In my experience the user interface is not only attractive but also fast and simple to use.
