    >under £250<

    That's 200 pints in the Union bar! Get you priorites right...a £4.99 AA map from the remainder bookstore will be fine.
  • Absolutely, amcluesent! In fact, lambo28, you could get the route from an online site like:
    http://www.rac.co.uk/web/routeplanner/

    That's another 1.5 pints available!
    "Some say the cup is half empty, while others say it is half full. However, this is skirting around the issue. The real problem is that the cup is too big."

    You'll be hard pushed to get a sat nav with live traffic info for under £250!

    TomTom One's the best model for your price range IMHO, and you can get TomTom traffic updates (free for a month, sub applies afterwards), or just use the TA function on your car radio!

    NETTO have this years road atlas for 99p
  • Netto have some really great deals, however I went to buy a child car seat on monday and I was informed by the manager that most netto stores across the UK had only been supplied with 24 units of £3.99 BOOSTER SEATS pretty poor I thought.
  • I presume you'll be driving along the same route to Uni on a daily basis?

    Surely you'll get to know the traffic blackspots after a week or so?

    I'd go with the TomTom One and 99p Netto Atlas (if they have any left) :D

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker
    or you could splash out 15k on a SmartNav unit with a years subs and get it wrapped in a 407 for free...
    Ever stop to think and forget to start again?
