1st post...........I can buy a NAVMAN ICM 520 from QVC outlet for £126, or go for a Medion at Aldi, what should I do, is it any good, is there a cheaper, better alternative? Can I pay a bit more and get one with Bluetooth?
I am a technical Ludite so help/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, OLZ.

    Buy a Tomtom ONE. The NAVMAN has a rubbish interface and the Medion is quite flimsy.

    And also price check with Kelkoo.

    I had 2x TomTom ONE GB Sat Nav Systems for my friend at a local Halfords. £149 it was in Store. The best I've seen & great value. He did not want Europe & stuff, so UK Map was good for him.

    just out of curiosity,do you have to buy upgrades for the maps with tomtom or do you get them as a free download once you've bought your tomtom?
    My £2 savings total for 2007 = £92, for 2008 = £124
    My savings from money off coupons for 2007 = £67.97, for 2008 = £194.79
    My £2 savings for 2009 (so far) = £130
         My savings from money off coupons for 2009 = £593.08

    Depends on the deal inside the Box at the time. 1 had Free Speed Camera (1 Download) free & other had Free 6 months of Road Traffic alerts (or was it 1yr)?

    Maps are free for 1yr (UK) to update the new One Way Roads & such (well the box I had was the free year). Best bet is to ring Halfords & see what offer they are doing in the boxes....
