I want a sat nav - help please

ANonnyMouse_2

Hi

I would like to buy a sat nav but I don't which ones are best. I tried a friend's tom tom and it seemed pretty good but not sure what type it was.

I don't need Europe or US maps.

Is there one that I can update for free? If not, is it better to buy a cheap one and just replace when it is out of date?

Thanks for your help!

I think Tom Tom are the best, simplest sat navs.

Hubby has top of the range new one, I have his old one.

I would rather a entry level £90 tom tom, than any other make.

another vote for TomTom , easy to use and updates available (though not for free)

garmin nuvi is the best to suit me but will it suit you? try them out, the shopping channels are a good place to buy and try plus return them if you cant get on with them just costs the postage.

Thanks everybody!

I am leaning towards a Tomtom - what is the base level model? A tomtom one?

Sorry I am a total novice on sat navs!

Go for Tomtom ONE or Garmin NUVI 215, doesn't really matter which one to be honest.

Cheapest TomTom is a Navigo from somewhere like Ebuyer and then google(and if you don't like the TomTom software then you can take your pick from a couple of other companies....)
