This is my first experience of owning a sat nav, but I've rode in cars equipped with satnavs from various manufactureres. I have found the ViaMichelin X-960 to be an excellent piece of kit.

I'll get the annoyances over with first - the first one has to be that there's only two voices to choose from - an irritating schoolmistress and an american lady - both voices get on my nerves after a short while. The second annoyance is that sometimes it tells you off for speeding when you're not - most commonly on an urban 40mph road.

Bar those two annoyances, it's a great piece of kit, and fairly easy to customise settings and the menu system is quite easy to use. It comes preloaded with all sorts of useful information, including restaurants that they've rated and I've discovered a few things nearby that I simply didn't know were good enough to get Michelin ratings!

The directions are always given in good time, they're very clear and easy to follow, and it's backed up with a schematic of the actual roads you're going to use.

It also has the option of selecting the "recommended" route somewhere, which takes things like "scenic roads" into account when planning your journey, something that I find a real bonus.

Overall, I would recommend the ViaMichelin to anyone that wants a satnav. It's already proved its worth to me in the month that I have had it.
