Hi

Looking for sat nav recommendations

must have lane assist (the clearer/user friendly this is, the better)
ideally show distance traveled and distance to go (along with est time of arrival)
ideally find map coordinates (for geocaching)
lastly the bigger the screen the better (but not essential)

budget ideally £100 (can go a bit higher if it will be worth the extra!)

thanks

    Put the £100 towards a good phone with sat nav(either installed or download).

    Check out the Garmin and TomTom websites. I know Garmin units have these features. The second one is a standard feature in all sat nav devices.

    My preference is to Garmins,which as said cover all your needs.
    However many will prefer Tomtom.
  • Garmin and Tom Tom are both good but you're more likely to get a Garmin nearer your budget that includes life time traffic and map updates which I reckon is a must have on a satnav.

  • as above, i just use an google maps on my iphone now.

    always up to date mapping

    various other apps too available that will also aid your travel aswell as the satnav (speed cameras etc etc).

    better off with the phone IMHO
