European Sat Nav

mummy_jeans

A bit new to this world of sat nav , but hoping to travel within Europe shortly and looking for a cheap reliable sat nav that has the following features - not sure if it is a tall order..:rotfl:

Re router
camera warning
lane guidance
auto updates

If someone could offer some guidance I would genuinely appreciate it.

Thanks

I'm a big TomTom fan - all of their newest units will have those features (not the START, but it's UK maps only iirc)

Thanks Kilty appreciate your view. Tom Tom as a brand seems an good choice.

Browntoa

yes, another TomTom fan

make sure you get a model with the Europe maps already installed , most units only come with UK and Ireland

A colleague bought the "XXL" one (can't remember the full model name) - lovely big screen and Europe maps for about £150.

Don't think the Classic has lane guidance.

Browntoa

bow to Kiltys knowledge as I'm not sure

It looks the same as my ONE Classic (which is the smaller one) which definitely doesn't.

if you have an iphone 4 you can get a tomtom app for £42 for western europe that has lane guidance etc, I use it for my work and it works excellently with the internal gps receiver.

Thanks Browntoa, Kilty and taffu056. I have just bought a blackberry and not sure of the app is suitable because of the blackberry size screen and is it as reliable as the stand alone console??
