Aldi Sunday Bargains!!! (merged)

My brother brought one last year and thought it was OK until I lent him my TomTom 700 for a trip to Eire. He now wants to buy the 700 and says it's so much easier to use than the medion.

I've also heard that Halfords have stopped selling the Medion sat-nav due to loads of problems with them!!
