Hope your all checking how recent the maps are on these cheepies, as its a bit like buying a road atlas--would you pay say the full price for a 2008 road atlas?, but you would for a new 2010 book? remember map updates are not free!

Ah, but they don't change most roads every year & the state the economy is in at the minute they'll be even fewer new housing estates & road changes made. I think a year old map will still find it's way down the M1..........

Even most of the absolute latest sat nav maps don't have changes to road that have been in place over a year. For example there's a road not far from me that became one way about a year ago, but sat nav with maps updated after still try send you the wrong way down it.

As always a sat nav needs to be combined with looking at the road signs and a bit of road sense
