I need to purchase a new sat nav. I have had a look around and there are so many. I would like to pay up to £200. I would like free map updates, free speed camera updates and live traffic updates. Can anyone recommend which one is the best. Thanks.

    Why not put the money towards a decent phone with all that stuff included.

    there are free options with maps to cover those features for all platforms


    I find the windows Drive+ works great and is worldwide as well.

    Personally I prefer Garmin sat navs. You can get them with unlimited map updates and traffic services. Have a look on the sat nav manufacturers websites to see the options available.

    It's more of a personal preference but I'd use a dedicated Satnav instead of a smartphone app. In my experience they are much faster in getting a Satellite fix and doing route re-calculations.

    I'd also recommend Garmin (one of those LMT models) over Tom Tom (having used both).
    free speed camera updates
    I'm not aware of any offering this (but I may be be wrong).

    I have tried a phone before but I have found them not to be as accurate and as fast as a sat nav. Also my phone used to get very hot when I used it as a sat nav.
