How much saving does a satnav produce?

Good point.

You could look it up online
- Air Vent satnav mount
- Sun Visor satnav mount (for the passenger's visor)

I found one, but with mixed reviews, and seems a bit pricy... but up to anyone, really...

There are even commercial Youtube videos explaining and showing how to install the devices.

ok i borrow a sat nav today and it took me literally in the opposite direction!! To me motorways look the same north or south, and I didn't realise that I was actually going back the way I had come after making a wrong turn prior to that (also on the sat nav's advice). So it looks like my sense of direction is just as bad with and without a sat nav

Yes, them and Garmin. I have downloaded voice alerts from www My satnav now gives a spoken warning as I approach speed cameras and sites frequently used by mobile cameras. This is potentially a great saving in fines and points.

There's always one. It reminds me not to speed.

with tom tom and garmin are the speed camera locations a free download? also are these brands of satnavs a monthly fee or one off purchase of the sat nav itself?

You shouldn't need any reminding if you are giving your full attention to your driving.:rolleyes:

Speed camera locations are often free from the manufacturer, but generally only give a beep for a camera site. The download I mentioned is a paid one, I think £19 gives access to the site for the year. But you only need the download once if you can do without updates. There are other add-ons available also. Traffic updates seem hardly worth having in UK, they seem to be rare and usually out of date in this area.
