i have a road angle 6000 nav it as a the facilitys of the road angle and a great sat nav retails at about 190.00 but worth it.

cheers phil

I'd definitely recommend a TomTom One V2 Europe,   www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk are doing the for £180 (with the Google Checkout £10 discount) and it includes a case, which I think is essential.

TomToms seem the most user friendly and have a quick time to fix.  The add-on bits (traffic, speed-cameras etc) are expensive though.  PocketGPSWorld has a fantastic cheap speed camera database

The F20 cost £127 in Tesco.

£113 in Halfords on line website (free delivery) and the F20 is easy to use

The thing that really interests me is how the manufacturers still manage to keep the prices so high. I know that they keep bringing out new models that have additional features that very few people ever use. The devices are relatively simple to do for volume manufacture. The satellites are in place. The mapping software seems to be common to a lot of the devices. So where's the cost coming in?

We Have the Navman F20 UK & Ireland really easy to use  .Look at Curries on line and pick up at your local shop. The only downer is that the SD cards for europe and France are more than the Navman F20 Europe so go for the F20 Europe

We too have the Navman F20. Has been good to us considering our last sat nav (Marco Polo) which frequently got us lost.

By the way we bought ours from ebuyer for £109 delivered.

How many of your Sat Navs can be programmed to visit various places on the route from A to B?

What I mean is, you know you are setting off from home, and ending up in, for ie, Portsmouth. It will plot you fastest / shortest  / whatever route. BUT if you want to go via Derby, Shrewsbury, Stratford, Bath, Oxford, and maybe a couple of other places on the way, can this all be programmed into the one route? (it`s called the "travelling salesman"  for obvious reasons) Which Sat Navs can do this?

I`ve got a Garmin Nuvi 660T (cost about £350) and it CANNOT do it ! Plots routes great from A to B, and you can have ONE via point in the route and that is it. Neither can you upload routes planned on your computer with Garmin mapping software. My older Garmin GPS III+ is capable of both these tasks, and I wish I`d known about the new one not being able to before buying it! Should have done my homework better!

I asked whether this section of road had been updated , and was told that he didnt know, because they buy maps from a 3rd party source!!!

Needless to say, i wont be recommending Tom Toms to my friends in a hurry.

Sorry for the rant........

All the GPS manufacturers buy in their mapping software so TT are no worse than any of the others. I do agree that the updating on these things is a joke

Just got a Fujitsu Loox N100 - great little gadget, so small but as easy to use as TomTom has been on my mobile. Used it in anger today and it was great. We paid 130, but it came with loads of accessories and all the maps of Europe.

Just got fujitsu one as well so far very good bought it cos it had all european mapping included for £129
