do you have a mobile phone? if so is it a smartphone or an iphone? TomTom for iphone is dead cheap and has free mapping updates. Tomtom for windows mobile is also quite cheap but doesn't have mapping updates freely available youhave to pay for them.

I wouldn't buy a dedicated sat nav device because if you get a windows mobile or iphone you can use if for sat nav and internet access and email and phone calls etc so its much better value for money.

Thanks Dave, but he really wants a dedicated sat nav. He does have an iphone but doesn't want to use that for sat nav in the car. Thanks anyway.

Hi
Not posted here for a while but noticed your question, personally I (and a few folk I know) have used Garmin for years and been pretty happy with them, OK a good friend also swears by Tom Tom, I would say either would be fine

Of all places have a look here, prices are pretty good for the "Nuvi" range and in my experience they work well.

I've got an iPhone as well and whilst the built in gps is useful now and again I'd personally find it awkward to use it as a sat-nav in the car.

Hi meta1mickey, I think Halfords were doing the TomTom QL range at half price for around £150,think one of them was suitible for caravan towing,was originaly for lorrys but it allowed you to put in weight and length and it then restricted the narrow roads. Dont know if sale still on.saw advert on TV, may just be localized.

I bought a cheapo "trumpion" from ebay with european mapping £75 2 years ago. Our Son has used a tom tom & garvin and Trumpion is just as good.

You can spend £150 if you want but you don't need to.

Thanks all, he should find one out of the selection mentioned. I have a Navman, but if i can talk him into getting one that also does lorry routing, i will probably pinch it off him when i use the van lol

Have a look at the Snooper Strabo S370, currently on offer until 31/07 at around the right price. I've has one of these for around 2 years - works very well across UK and Europe.
