Sat Nav for purchase without a pc

scousemanblue

My cousin has asked me to help him find a satnav. He doesnt however have a pc to do updates etc.

As his purchase is purely for finding a location not for adding POI's does it really matter which one he gets?

I was thinking about the Garmin NUVI 300 in CPW this or Navman F20.

Any thoughts?

I think most of the consumer units will operate as a basic 'atob' unit out of the box (i.e. with no PC connection) -the thing to check is if you get a mains charger or not.

I have a tom tom one V2 which is excellent but only comes with a USB charger (although it does come with a car adapter so you can charge from the cigarette socket using the USB cable) - its a bit of a pain, but worth it as I find tom tom excellent, and other maps, POIs, speed cameras and things are easy to obtain with minimal looking around...

He can always come round to use your PC to get it updated, as well as spending quality time with the relatives?!
