    None of them cost a lot nowadays, think I have even seen them at asda for under £40, if you have a smartphone, then you maybe able to use that, those small drops are usually, local to where you live , so you should be familiar with the roads anyhoo?

    My understanding is that the OP was asking for factual advice on satnavs rather than gratuitous comments on his employment.

    A useful feature of the better Sat-Navs is being able to handle a 'Custom Route' rather than just one simple trip to a single destination.

    My Garmin Nuvi accepts multiple destinations and then arranges them in an optimum order. It prevents any back-tracking and so saves a bit on the fuel.

    I would ask a 'White Van Man' for his comments and advice.

    Good luck with the job mate.
