I  have searched and read some posts on this forum but would like an up to date view from anyone who has either of the following sat navs:

The Garmin Nuvi 465 which has 'Lane assist' (hubby would like to have this) or the

Snooper Ventura S2000 Europe Maps & Campsites which doesn't have 'lane assist'.

Any info or views on either of these would be great, please.

I heard the Garmin is good & I'll probably be getting one when the old TomTom gives up. I won't be looking for one which claims to be lorry or Caravan friendly though. I think they're just a money spinner. I often have to use mine to find delivery points but I don't always take the first option it gives me. All the stories I hear where Sat Navs are blamed for vehicles being stuck in a bad spot just go in one ear & out of the other. It's the drivers decision whether or not to take a turning or turn round when the road looks dodgy at the end of the day.

i have had sat navs since they came out. i have found tom tom to be the most reliable of them all, being a truck driver going all over the uk i have never had a problem. i am currently using a tom tom 550 live which is very good and has lane assist.i also use a truckers map with the tom tom to make sure all is well.

the tom tom's are easier to install third party poi's too.

We didn't tow a caravan when sat navs weren't around!

I remember driving through France some years ago with a heavy laptop on my lap and Autoroute to guide us! The laptop got very hot and Autoroute never kept up  fast enough! Nightmare! So glad there are sat navs now!

i have co pilot live on my htc desire works perfecty can input that your a rv etc etc and adjust speeds on different roads, so it works out eta correctly.

has lane assist etc and was about £28

I drive hgv and found that a satnav called pronav brought for £80 was as better than tomtom as you put hieght ,width,length and weight in

not as fancy as tomtom but far superior for large veichles

got it off ebay typed hgv satnav
