  • Evesham have until the 16th April knocked £30 (now £119.99) off the price of the Nac-Cam 7700. It just won an award from Auto Express as a good Sat-Nav (that and the price drop made me buy last Monday and it got me to Cornwall and back without trouble over the bank holiday). Oh and FREE Speed Camera Updates

    http://www.evesham.com/products/info.asp?e=6F2E4227-0097-4EEC-A01D-D5A378227DDC

    From the website:

Both visual and audible instructions are given for accurate guidance including spoken road numbers ‘Turn left on to A414’. The 7700 also features speed camera alerts covering all 6 types of UK speed camera. Register to receive free updates for 6 months (PC required) followed by an annual subscription for just £30.

    Part of the Furniture 10 Posts Combo Breaker
    £1.99 for a road atlas from your nearest discount bookshop - and much cheaper to update too as it will probably cost another £1.99 next year!

    if you use a mobile, upgrade next time to a smartphone [eg mda vario, orange spv, nokia n series] usually the phone will be free on a contract, then all you need to get is a copy of tomtom mobile and a bluetooth gps device.

    Over the course of the contract it may work out about the same as a cheapo standalone, but you would have had a phone service / bundled minutes also.

    At the end of the contract, you would have a phone to sell with tomtom, which is an asset you can earn a premium for over a vanilla phone:-).

    plus when you leave the car unattended you don't have a ridiculous 'come steal me' suction mount marking - you're always carrying the phone [and satnav] with you. the bluetooth gps is the size of a matchbox.

    TotalPDA does some refurbished ones for cheaper

    They have this Navman for £113.92 (inc VAT + delivery) - not sure how good it is compared to the Navman that Martin had listed.

    GARMIN NUVI 310 is available from Amazon for £158 - should be £200+ Slightly more than what is being considered; however it comes with loads of extras - mp3 player, Audible book player and more importantly Hands Free bluetooth for a compatible phone!
    I couldn't find this anywhere for under £195 and thought it was an error. Mine arrives and so have my friends!
    You can update it from the Garmin site thorugh the use of free Garmin Software and they will also provide new maps for installation if they have released others since the device was installed. Mine arrive with Version 8 and Version 9 in coming by post for free!
    Fully recommended Satnav


    I was looking at buying this model from Halfords but wasn't sure if it also has a "Safety Camera" detection device. Does anyone know if it does as I don't want a load of different gadgets over the dash? I need one that combines Sat Nav, Camera detector and Handsfree phone capabilities, any recommendations?
