    Depends where you live. if it happens to be in N. Ireland, then Garmin is the way to go

    One to avoid, in my experience is Navman. In fact I've just sold mine (at considerable financial loss) because I could NEVER get to exactly where I wanted. The supplied UK maps must be years out of date, a £6.99 current UK road atlas is far more reliable then ask a local!!
    I've advised Navman about some of the errors but they're not interested.

    Pretty much a no brainer, Tomtom is the market leader for a reason.

  • I've got a road Angel 6000 it also does the Speed Camera Locations & mobile Van Loctaions too so far so good but software can be a bit slow but as i've never used others i don't know if thats normal

    I would be greatful if someone can point me to a satnav that would be suitable? I have searched but as yet have not come up with a choice.

    I have looked at the tomtom 910 but seems a little bulky? also window mount people say slips.

    I want Europe Traffic info ( free if poss) speed camera, wide screen ,points of interest, and also somewhere to go when it all goes wrong eg a contact point.

    I would like it to be as slim as possible.

    Am I asking the impossible?

    O and the cheaper the better.

    Many thanks

    Not impossible but not cheap either! The best for support is Garmin, the NUVI 660 £310. Also look at the MIO C520T and Navigon 7110. The new Tomtom 720 is out soon if you can wait.

    I had looked at the Nuvi 610t and upgrade to euro maps. What has the 660 got other than maps more than the 610?

    The 610 is £239 at comet.

    I am confused about the tomtom910 does it come with free traffic info or do you just get a 1 mth free subscrition?

    The NUVI 660 has text-to-speech, it'll say street names, not just turn left, turn right etc.
    Compare

    The traffic subsciption on the TT910 is a taster for tomtom plus services , you will need a bluetooth mobile on a GPRS connection to use them. You can also buy the RDS TMC device like the garmin instead here
