The RAC 200 is an excellent SatNav at the lower end of the market. I'd been put off getting one for ages until I had a weekend coming that I knew would be taking me all over the UK. After buying... more

    4 Stars Its easy with the RAC 08/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easyin use free speed camera aerts and updates discount on RAC membership

    Disadvantages Disadvantages very occasionally a bit slow picking up signal

    For those who have ever got lot driving now might be the time to consider investing in a satellite navigation system You could do worse than this one The RAC200. It might not have things like mp3 or Bluetooth but if you want to get from A to B it does what it says on the packet Let's look at it in more detail what it has and can do. It is a fairly compact unit with a 3.5"touch screen weighing a mere 191g it comes with the mounting cradle and a 12vDC adaptor and has a built in lithium rechargeable battery. The preloaded maps of UK and Ireland are provided by Route66 Your proposed destination ... more

    4 Stars TomTom you're fired!! 11/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages touch screen menu, easy to use, works on post codes, calculates distances

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the computer generated voice is grinding

    My job involves a lot of driving through rural areas, many of which I have never visited before and with a memory like a sieve using maps is totally out of the windows, especially when driving like a maniac to get to an appointment on time. I did invest in a TomTom SatNav but found that constant updates were required and after getting lost using it in the Lake District an alternative was needed. This led me in the direction of the RAC 200, a fairly cheap SatNav at £99. Small in size at 10 x 8.5 x 2.5 cm the RAC 200 has a 3.5 inch touch screen user interface that can be attached really securely ... more

    5 Stars RAC 200 - So much more than I expected! 15/01/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Value for money, ease of setting up, intuitive to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Doesn't recognise some of the more rural obscure addresses

    The RAC 200 is an excellent SatNav at the lower end of the market. I'd been put off getting one for ages until I had a weekend coming that I knew would be taking me all over the UK. After buying the RAC 200 I can only say, 'why on earth did I wait so long?!'. It took all the stress out of travelling alone (no one to map read) in unfamiliar territory. It really couldn't have been simpler to install. From taking it out of the box to having it up and running in the car was approximately 10 minutes, and this only took so long as it takes a wee while to find its position on first use. It was so ... more

    2 Stars RAC 200 SATNAV 03/01/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, easy to operate

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes ages to pick up GPS signals, very basic.

    Bought this for £99.99 from Currys, its easy to operate but pretty basic overall, I took it back and exchanged it for a Tom Tom One at £114.99 because it took anything up to 30 minutes to obtain a GPS signal which I found extremely annoying and time wasting, when it did finally obtain a signal it only found two satellites, where the Tom Tom finds six or seven, also the memory card protrudes from the unit and can foul on the cradle if you're not careful, the suction mounting is big and clumsy for the size of the unit, sorry this review is mainly negative but it gives the reader fair warning of ... more
