RickH Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Just a hopeful question really, is anyone aware of a decent Sat Nav unit i could get hold of for about £80? Only reason i ask is that my parents wanted to get me an ipod adapter for xmas, but i think i am going to go down the aux route after xmas, so they suggested perhaps a Sat Nav instead. Any help would be appreciated! I am thinking of this one: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...tegoryId_165685 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamspeed Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 The most i've seen for a TomTom one is £100, its a neat little unit, speed camera warnings etc and totally futureproof, spending a few quid more over a cheaper one is well worth it IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danposs86 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 TomTom is the clear winner, use mine on a daily basis and cant fault them. Tesco sell the TomTom ONE for just under £100 Argos have it even cheaper: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/part...ms|10199375.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithyandco Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 TOM TOM all the way everything else is poo comparedTomTom or CoPilot... But I don't think CoPilot do standalone units... think it's just software. So TomTom all the way for standalone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben__mk6 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 i saw some becker traffic assists on ebay (ex display) for about £50, rrp usually £100+. anyways theyre good units with traffic alerts, speed cams etc. also, nav n go igo 8 works great on my samsung i900 if anyone else has one.

Alan Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I've had the road angel 6000 & 7000 sat navs for camera's ect they were brilliant, but for directions they would keep telling you to go right no matter what. I have had numerous problems with them and have sent them back many times. So my advise would be stay clear of them for navigation. I now have a Tom Tom and rate it highly couldnt fault it as of yet.

MarkyMark Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I had a navman and it was spot on but that got stolen, now i got a binatone, its alright but the screen is a bit congested,. Still gets you where you want to go and i got mine for £60 from Asda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadge Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Make sure you buy one with a SD slot at the very least otherwise you will be pretty much limited by the on-board memory when it comes to upgrades especially with the Tomtom. Its very possible to even have the older 500 series (and even previous) running the latest software/maps of the 900 series with lane assist and all the extras.
