Sony CDX-GT414U

Advantages: Good, cheap, simple.
Disadvantages: Can get lost or stolen.

.... This means you only need to pass a single tree for the device to momentarily lose the signal, by the time it has found it again, you have passed under another tree. If there are tall trees on either side of the road, then forget it. This model is not alone here, my old TomTom was the same. Another snag is when roads are re-aligned, the software is not kept up to date, the M62/A1 junction is a good example, the sat navs just get lost here, not a major problem if you know where you are, but it does defeat the object surely? The name is also one possible backward step, names like Walkman are legendary, but who is going to wax lyrical about their Sony NV-U52 GPS receiver, when TOMTOM is easier?

All recording has been performed faultlessly and the ability to jump advert breaks at the touch of a single button is great.
