eastern european sat nav

andybe11

hi there,
can someone recommend a decent satnav that has romania and bulgaria? I would prefer to have one of the decent makes ie garmin, tomtom or navman. The trouble is its hard to distinguish if any of them have this.
After much googling I can only come up with Becker that do these extra countries that I want, or Garmin do the maps for a pda.

Just to clarify I need a good reliable satnav for the whole of Europe including Romania and Bulgaria. (I realise that they have only the major routes). Preferrably it would have a hard drive for all the maps and be updated from the computer.

Any advice I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

The cheapest Garmin with Western/Eastern Europe is the NUVI 250 for £169 from Ebuyer(£159 using google checkout). The other Garmins with Europe are the C550 and NUVI 270,350,360,650,660. Just bear in mind that nether Navteq or TeleAtlas who produce the maps for all the satnav companies have comprehensive coverage of the countries you want. Becker, Navigon use Navteq and Tomtom, Navman and Mio all use Teleatlas. Personally i'd stick with Garmin over the Becker as there is more info/backup on the Garmin.
