Sat Nav Advice re map updates

Bigmoney2

Thanks for all the replies.

I don't have a smart phone or tablet so can't use those options.

I'm normally quite happy navigating with paper maps/roads atlas when I'm a passenger, but will be driving alone and find on long journeys the map isn't always practical especially at complex junctions and unfamiliar areas.

Think I'll just look for a cheapish Tom Tom as I've used one a bit before.

Thanks all

I have a 10.1" tablet with a car mount and it has satnav I haven't used it yet as its quite big but I set it up so it doesn't impede viewing the windscreen in any way but decided to still use my Garmin for now. You can get fairly cheap tablet for £150 or less plus you can obviously do other things or use a smartphone my OH has a Samsung note with decent satnav which she got for free and she has navfree

Both work without 3g and use gps

Navfree

Sygic is also a great product

Get a smartphone instead? Better/Cheaper option?
