Sat Nav - Want to Purchase any info please?

Md

Hi,
I'm looking to buy sat nav as a present, but know NOTHING about it! Had a look in Comet today but the sales assistant only wanted to sell me TomTom?! He did ask me if I would be using it abroad, but I only need it for use in the UK.

Had a look on the Sat Nav Hunt thread but it's a few months old now. Is the Garmin i3 still a good buy?

ANY help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.

It's a site I hadn't seen and it gives me lots of tecchie info.

Can anyone out there recommend a model? I'm looking for something fairly basic, easy to operate, that can direct from A-B.

Thanks in anticipation????

i have a medion one which i got from aldi about 9 months ago at a good price. i love it and it makes life so much less stressful!! sometimes i have to say it doesn;t take what i would see as the best route, but i rest in the knkowledge that i will always get there eventually!!

keep your eyes open for good deals.

Garmin model you mention seemed very popular when quicksave/somerfield were selling it cheap, if you can find one cheap I'd say gor for that one.

Use a Nokia 6630 myself with tomtom

yeah i use my nokia 6680 with mobile tomtom 5 on it, also have speed camera database on it. The road angel navigator is ment to be very good, but the price tag refects this

You cant go wrong with the garmin i3 it does a to b perfectly and i think (havent looked recently) halfords still do them pretty cheap.
