Received my Argos voucher 2 weeks ago for a Binatone Carrera, just in time for my holiday to Norfolk. What can I say, it is awful, and that's putting it mildly. I think TATNAV would be a better description. Thankfully I had my Lobster mobile with Route 66 installed as a back-up or I'm sure I'd still be wandering aimlessly around Norfolk's B roads. Even simple journeys around my home town are full of misdirections. The unit itself looks good, but the software lets it down, so I can only give it 2 out of 10.

Mine is fine - gives you as accurate directions as any Sat Nav. Has even shown me shortcuts I didn't know of.

You can install TomTom software on it if you find it 'so' bad.

What do you want for free!!? If you want a better Sat Nav, you should have paid for one.

It's not as if you paid £100 for this and found you didn't like it. You paid £6 and for £6 its a bloody good Sat Nav!

I just don't get people who moan about something that was free (or almost free)!

It was free - because I got my £6 refunded when I cancelled the DD.

How did you get it refunded - I thought if the DD had been paid, that was the money gone?

Hi,

did you do it twice through Axa, because just got a thingy from Abbey today offering

me the same plan, though through Axa again, but with a digi camera, DAB radio or

£30 tokens.

Can't find link, but there are news articles on web about Abbey and Axa teaming up.

Also similiar deal through Post Office - £50 cashback as well as a digi box, digital camera or wine. But cashback only after 3 payments of £7

Hi,

even if you have to pay twice (£12?), you are still getting a bargain.

If you cancel the plan you should get your money back. I wrote and cancelled and they refunded my account.
