Which SatNav?

[karbonkid]

The Navman gave up a while back and although it did the job it never got updated once, leading me to some dodgy back passages at times! :whistle: :hahaha:

Anyway a noo one is on the 'To Buy List' atm and Im well out of date with em all now.

What you got? what would you recommend & why? I'm kinda hoping one of you works part time in Halfrauds and knows what they are talking about!?

Pref: Speed Cam detect/ European Map

Talk to me!!

I've used Garmin and Tom Tom units.

I much prefer the Garmin for it's display, touch screen sensitivity and user friendly menus.

Ta G-dog I may consider the Garmin route

Judging by the response from the rest of ya... I'm guessing your all old and still get out your ancient maps, Ay!? :clown:

+1 with the G-dog regarding the Garmin :thumbs: I've had mine now for ages it's still all good so I just keep updating it with New maps :smokin:
Also it's quite handy for occasional V-maxing solutions :whistle:

Map? Didn't Sir Walter Raleigh use one of those?

If you haven't got one, my recommendation is an iPhone and a decent cradle. That way, you get a decent phone that you can put TomTom on. Particularly useful is being able to navigate to contacts.

That said, i've never tried Garmin. The one thing I don't like about TomTom is the lack of Itinerary Planning (being able to plan a route with a series of waypoints) - useful on a blast through the countryside when you want to use specific roads. Other than that, the interface is great.

I love my TomTom Live. Kept up to date and it's so good for camera points, fav speed camera van sites and brill for suggested re-routing to avoid traffic. Saved me some hours clearing me past horrible traffic.:thumbs:

Garmin here, the sucker mount fits straight onto the poof mirror on the back of the sun visor in the CSL , so I attach mine there, perfect for me as Im a short sighted bastard, so wear the glasses for driving , but can look up over them at the satnav at close range , works perfect for me !:thumbs:

I have got a couple of Snoopers. Strato which is a bit plasticy and rubbish battery life, but the Syrius is superb, solid and last hours.

Both been superseded but worth looking at the new ones.

I like the idea of IPhone for sat nav, data logger, phone, email, Internet, porn, shopping, credit card, banking, ...................................

Cheers all. iPhone I have but I'd prefer phone & Nav to be kept separate. I like the sound of the Garmin, so Garmin it may be! Nice V-Max extra too. :thumbs:

I'd advise that you always give Garmin preference over TomTom. I'm on a second satnav unit and each one seems to be a complete waste of money.

I've just come back from my Euro trip and i had nothing but problems with tomtom. A few months old unit with at least 3 year old maps (i did updates and paid for extra services on it) crap touch screen sensitivity and long distance route planning - also crap.

I will never, ever buy tomtom again.
