    But surely you're not paying the commission - that's what they get for setting up the "sale". All you will pay, will be the second month's premium, since the first month is free.........well, that's the way I read it, hope I'm right!!!

    spot on but where does it mention first month free

    On the FAQ's page :-

    "As this is a whole of life plan, you need to choose a monthly premium you are confident you’ll always be able to afford because if you were to stop paying your premiums, your plan would be cancelled and you wouldn’t get anything back.
    To help get your plan underway, your first premium is free."
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    i bought the myguide 3100 on sunday and am very pleased with it.
    the 1st halfords i went to (chingford) had them up on display for £99.XX :eek: and that was reduced from £199, when questioned the guy simply said that was the price, there wasn't any in stock there anyway so asked him to phone next nearest branch which had them in stock (enfield) and to comfirm the price of £79.99 which it was-the look of the mans face was priceless!

    anyhow went and bought one from there and also got the £10 voucher too!

    i do however have a couple of questions:

    i'm a mac user so downloading maps etc is gonna be a bit difficult to say the least.
    My friend has the tomtom 720 and i was wondering if i could use her sd card in that to put her version of tomTom on it? (i read somewhere that you could put tomtom version 6 on it) only thing is i don't know which version she has, how would i find out?

    all help appreciated, thanks in advance

  • I was looking for an entry level sat nav for the b/f birthday and toyed with the Myguide but decided that it could be more hassle than its worth. After looking round I finally settled for a Garmin Nuvi 300 from a co called Eatay which was £109 +pp.

    Unfortunately I cant comment on it cos it only arrived today and his b/day isnt til fri but the price and service were the best I found on the net.

    Well i have had my 3100 for a week now and it's awsome!! I have used Tom Tom's in the past and this is just as good, got the speed camera database on it last night (Thanks Stefos) and it works a dream. I was going to add the Tom Tom softawre, but i feel no need as the 3100 is just as good! and for £69.99 (taken the voucher off) is the bargain of the year!

    After using it a few times this past week for interviews and the likes, it is worth having it on incase the other one fails. A place for interview in durham, myguide/igo refused to take me to saying route unreachable, and even tho they use the same teleatlas maps, tomtom allowed it no problem. Even tho when I left I loaded up the other software and it recognised the street names no problem. Postcode search in TomTom is much better to find some addresses, although now that I have experienced the other I do prefer the overall less cutesy interface of the iGo/MyTravel software.

    I would however still put on iGo in place of the mytravel built in software, as that is the fully featured version of the software ur currently using. Also there are apparently issues of the cutdown version MyTravel not displaying all speed cameras correctly and not sounding the alerts.

    Of course thats if you have time to mess :)
