Hubby is a taxi driver and needs a sat nav.

He wants one that you can just input the street name, not the postcode,

does anyone have any ideas as to which is the best and cheapest around that suits our needs.

John Lewis were selling a Sony Sat Nav system for £99, but i don't think they have any left!

Saint Chris why go posting the same question multiple times?

I have been selling PSP's and Wii's for £30 each but I have none left, the info is useless.

HI just got a PiN 570 from Halfords in Aberystwyth (about 4 left in stock). Seems a very good little unit - 5 digit postcode a bit dissapointing, but considering all the Pocket PC features it's great (particularly when upgrading from an old Sony Clie PDA.

Anyway, can someone tell me please how to go about putting TomTom Navigator 5 on it. Which package do i need to buy, and where can I get it cheaply? I've spotted a few pirate copies about, but I'm a little dubious of them to be honest. Feel free to send a PM.

Was considering the 7 digit postcode upgrade but apparently it's a huge POI file, nothing more.

Thanks in anticipation

because somebody in the the other thread pointed me to this page, sorry if that offends you. But i've seen other posts repeated when people need help.
And i wouldn't class 2 in 2 different threads as being multiple, more twice

which is better at actually navigation- this or the Navman F20? - the F20 is only around £125

Stageshoot

Maps on the F20 are much newer (There are 2004 on the Navman PIN), but the PIN has the advantage of being a fully featured pocket PC and the fact you can use other sat nav software like TomTom on it.

So swings and roundabouts really, if you have a need or use for a pocket PC get the PIN at £99, if you just want a reliable satnav and nothing else get the F20


hope that helps

Ok- I reckon I will go for the Navman F20 - Can anyone suggest how to get this at closer to £99 rather than £125?? e.g. discount code, joining a catalogue for a discount etc? Unfortunately I dont know anyone that works at halfords to get a staff discount

So on the PiN you can add TomTom with 2006 maps and keep updating them.

If you have a Costco card it's about £117 there or I think Amazon have them for about £124

Quick question: can you play music _while_ using the SatNav software? I am thinking more specifically about TomTom6.

Thanks in advance.
