Which Satnav do you recommend (and dont need comments such as i dont need one) as last week i got relieved of my old Navman by the local scroats. Looking at the Tom tom start which seems to be on offer,or maybe the Navigon anyone have one of these?as halfords have offer on these.

TomTom the 'Home' software is great and automatically updates fixes that have been reported by everyone else using TomToms. There are also load and loads of POI's for free on the net.

HI
TOM TOM is my personnal choice and would not be without.It is a great aid to traveling to new place's to wild camping:)
 
Hi
You may also might want to look at this site Reevoo via google...All they do is allow people to write there own reviews so you get some feedback from the user's--just a thought...I have a Tom Tom 920 and have found it pretty good
Bye for now
Freddie:D
 
Mine is TomTom Go. I like the small size,my last one was one ofthe big ones and I found it too distracting in the screen. IMHO you only need a small screen it gives you enough info.

If you have a decent phone you can now get tomtom software for a phone, worth looking at maybe
 
I need to get a new satnav, I have been using version 5 of TomTom on my Dell Axim PDA for the past few years. I wish that TomTom would let you put in vehicle size & have more choice of route planning rather than fastest, shortest or avoid motorways. Most of the truck type satnav seem to be very expensive compared to the likes of TomTom.
 
i have a tomtom 920 and have used it in the USA & UK with no probs
:D:D

Me to, never been to the US of A with it but I do like them. Sorry, I've only ever had Tom Tom's (sounds bad I know, but I have had the odd Sheila as well) some very odd ones come to think of it,but I do think they are 'the bizz'.

I really should get out more often. Ms. Garmin here I come Hope she pardons the expression.:)
 
There was an advert on TV for Halfords? ( not 100% certain)

50% off Tom Tom satnavs.
 
BTW for anyone whose satnav battery is fading, do not send it back to the maker as Navman wanted me to do . It was going to cost £50.

I googled battery suppliers and got one for £7, free delivery.
 
ive got an old tomtom go 500 i swear bye it.also got tomtom at home for it get my updates on line so easy to use.
 
I have both TomTom 920 and Garmin 6** and find the Garmin is more intuitive and user friendly. In addition, the display is brighter and, therefore, easier to see in bright conditions.
 
.

i have 2... both garmins... 1 for going and tother fer cummin back..

seriously, I’ve had this debate several times and every time I’ve loaned my 2720 out for comparison
against a tantrum it has always persuaded towards the garmin.:cool:

the other 1 is an old quest 1... with built in rechargeable battery..
ideal for having in yer pocket walking about in strange towns...
and cross country.:rolleyes:

btw.. they are both waterproof and have been used on the bike(s), and in the car and van
(both were bought second hand)


e-bay will have no end of then just after xmas as peeps upgrade..
suss out the features you want/need an yer budget and 1 will come along sooner rather than later



regards ;)
aj

Just been down to Ayesgarth for a couple of days.

My Garmin 5000 was annoying the hell out of us by keep jumping off its flexible mounting cradle.

Every time I hit a bump the sat nav landed on the dashboard.

When I got home yesterday afternoon I decided to find out why. The mount is designed to fix to the dash and it had a springy bendable metal plate the bends to a shape and hold the sat nav at the angle you want it for viewing. Somehow mine had got bent down nearer the dash and the spring action was allowing the release button on the bottom to contact the dash surface and out came the sat nav every bump. Now fixed by bending it up again.
